Sunset, the everyday disappearance of sun from the horizon. The red and orange colors appear in the sky at sunset are beautiful. Typically, sunset colors are more stunning than sunrise colors. Perhaps, this is why people love sunset more than sunrise.

The timing of sunset varies between places. Sunset captured in still images are beautiful. I spent some times searching for Sunset photos, share with you here are some of the photos taken from places around the world.
