Botswana without a doubt! I was once taking a safari in a tiny dugout mokoro canoe in the Okanvango Delta and snapped this shot - it has not been photoshopped or instagrammed it was that gorgeous

Isla Amantaní in the middle of Lake Titicaca, Peru.
It was one of those rare travel moments that transcends centuries and cultures, standing at the top of the island with new friends from Spain and Germany, worshiping the falling sun at the ancient temple of a pre-Incan culture. Not only were the views gorgeous, but the setting evoked a feeling of being in touch with an ancient people who were intimately in touch with the natural world. Truly breathtaking, and definitely the most unique experience I had while solo backpacking South America. Highly recommended if you're traveling through Puno and have two days and a night to experience this place.

Seattle has been darn good for sunsets since I moved here almost a year ago. Here are two of my favorite snaps!
I took this one from the shores of Elliott Bay Trail late in 2013.
And then this one just a few weeks ago from CenturyLink Field as I watched a Sounders game! 
Don't you want to move here yet??Comments (5)

Nice, Valerie! I've never actually caught the sunset all the times I've been to Seattle (too busy eating!). Going to have to change that. And I've actually thought about living there before! ·

You know I'll help you get set up if you find your way up here... #TeamTrippy could move en masse ;) ·
-
Haha, well, rent is cheaper up there and the coffee's good... :) ·
-
Yes I love Seattle ·
-
Yeah Seattle is amazing for her sunsets, because of the water and the clouds (basically the shitty weather) ·

Ruth Newton from Canada
Saskatchewan, Canada We refer to our province as "The Land of Living Skies" and it is definitely that. Our sunsets are magnificent, on any day when there is no cloud cover, which is almost every day! I've seen wonderful sunsets in other North American places, and in the tropics, but none can exceed in beauty the ones I see at home.

Sunsets are one of my favorite things to see when I travel. They can be so different from any other one you have seen before, it all just depends on the place. The best on for me was in the very south of Bali. I spent all day at the beach and the sunset made the perfect end to a great day, here is a photo I took of it.
P.S Debbie where was the sunset you just saw?Comments (1)

Definitely Paris on my first ever evening there! I'd landed in the pouring rain, but the clouds started to clear for sunset. This was taken along by Hôtel de Ville. Bit of a rubbish photo, but I love it - it always reminds of seeing Paris for the first time!

I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets in Old Bagan in Myanmar. We climbed up the Shwesandaw pagoda 1 hour before sunset. Overlooking Bagan and its temples while the light turns from a warm yellow to a dark red is truly amazing.

One of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen was in Oia , Santorini, Greece. However a bit more wonderful even is the sunrise.Another amazing sunset I saw in Angkor Wat, Cambodia. You have to be in the right spot where not so many people go.

Of the ones I've seen, Lake Namtso's (in Nam Co, Tibet) is the best. Here's a picture that doesn't do it justice, taken with my crappy Canon Elph back in 2006.

I am lucky to live in Mornington Peninsula and we look west over Port Philip Bay here are a few of my Sunset Pictures from this winter. I think we should all plan to take a sunset picture on a particular day i.e 11/11/14 Starting from the date line and creating a record of the sunset on that day as the sunsets around the world creating thousands of pictures in thousands of points on our planet. Come on lets make a record of that day. Please pass it on.

My best sunsets were in Key West and Sedona.
Now with Sedona the pictures turned out absolutely spectacular we got to the highest point at where we were staying Sky Ranch Lodgeand you had the view of the red rocks in the backgrounds and it was just so gorgeous! Sky Ranch Lodge also had a separate viewing area that was more private just for guests to watch the sunset.

Trippy has to work on the photo uploader. I had to upload pretty much every photo 2-3 times because of unexpected error. But this one only appeared after i uploded the photo and tried to insert it here. A lot of waiting with my slow connection at the hotel.
