The Best Sunsets I’ve Seen
It’s raining here in Bangkok, and as I was flipping through some photos, I realized I wanted to see some sun. Then I got the idea, why not blog about sunsets? I’ve seen tons of sunsets. I make it a point to see them. Not just “catch one,” but actively go find a place to watch. I love them. And not in the “I also like long walks on the beach” way. I love the colors, the calmness- sunsets are relaxing. So this Sunday morning, get relaxed with these great sunsets that I’ve seen. Sadly, this is only just snapshot. The whole things were great to sit and watch.

Love the caramel clouds against the blue in New Mexico pic. Really stunning.
Beautiful post Matt, those are some awesome photos, especially that new Mexico one.
I’m more of a sunset fan then a sunrise fan myself. They are relaxing as you think about the day that has passed by, what your night is going to bring. Although I haven’t experience too many sunrises… just not enough of a morning person!
I have to agree that New Mexico one is amazing.
Yes, my favourite is New Mexico one too. We get to see other shots but this one is quite different, almost enchanting.
I always forget to ask you, how can I subscribe to these comments ? I can’t see the option here.
Great photos, Matt. There is something incredibly universal and beautiful about sunsets. You can see one where ever you are.
These are absolutely gorgeous! I love how different they can be, yet so striking! And very nice photography… wow.
Great stuff Matt.
I vote for North Carolina.
Though on my travels I have to say Western Australia has blessed me with the most spectacular sunsets – always helps when the orange round thing is sinking into the ocean.
Oh, and Kaikoura, New Zealand. I remember people coming out of their houses thinking the sky had caught fire.
The best thing is often realising simply that you have the time to sit and watch the sunset.
Glory days. happy times. Stuff like that.
Lovely sunsets, Matt. I particularly like the one taken on the beach in Costa Rica. I hope Bangkok is treating you well!
Even though I’m partial to the Costa Rica one:) I have to say that Ko Lanta, Thailand is amazing!
Gorgeous. Seriously, perfect.
Karijini National Park hands down for me!
The best sunset I ever seen was in Pushkar (India)!

Sunsets are great, aren’t they? Some of my best travel experiences have been sunsets. I agree with Maria – Pushkar sunsets are great.
I don’t know which one’s my favourite. But from my own collection (or recollection), Santorini, Greece is my fave. Hmmm…I should actually post those photos…
@katie and geoff and cuckoo: it was one of the top sunsets i ever saw. the picture doesn’t do it justice.
@monna: that was one of the first amazing sunsets i ever photographed
@marina: Ko Lanta seemed to go on forever that night
@quickroute: that was a great one…
Oh lovely!
You should go to Jamaica… they have the most amaaaazing sunsets ever. I make it a point to sit and catch them too, with a rum &ting in my hand
whats ur camera?
Great idea to post sunsets. Placencia, Phnom Pehn and Kho Lanta get my votes. I loved all of these places; and to see your sunset photos brings back memories.
We were just in Africa last year, I see that you want to go on safari and climb Kili. They were part of our travel goals as well, and happy to say we have ticked them off of the list.
Would love to be like you however and living in Thailand. One of my favourite countries on earth.
This post makes me think someone should organize a collaboration for photographers to take a picture of the sun at the predicted hour of sunset on the same day in every country or even province around the world. That would be very cool.
As always, I like your stuff. Enjoy Thailand!
Wow, Matt. These are amazing. Lucky you, being able to experience such wonderful sunsets all around the world.
Those photos are beautiful
I have not seen any Turkey reviews. You are always welcome in Turkey.
Absolutely gorgeous, nice one Matt.
Awesome photos!!
Wow. Beautiful indeed. I love sunsets!
Beautiful pictures
The Best Sunsets I’ve Seen, really
Gorgeous pics! Sunsets are a beautiful time to reflect on the day and a reminder of how magical and perfect life is. Where was the North Carolina sunset taken from? Koh Lanta and San Diego sunsets are equally enjoyable! I love how Americans clap and cheer when the sun finally dips below the horizon- I have never seen that done anywhere before!
LOL
I should have seen this post BEFORE I took you to our sunset dinner place:-)
That sunset was still beautiful!
Matt,
I could not agree more. The magical moment of the sunset remains one of my favorite parts of the day. It pauses yet seduces. That is also why every week, I post a sunset photo on my blog. Feel free to check them out.
Also, my hats off to you on these photos…some amazing memories captured here. A toast to many more.
stay adventurous,
Craig
I have so many beautiful sunsets. It was hard to choose the best!
I love the Australia shots!
this picture so beautliful!
The pics are so beautiful
Beautiful pictures, and you took all these yourself?
Do these pictures have wallpapers? The cloud, the sun, and the sea are always the best combination.
What about Canada? Ontario has some awesome sunsets, especially in the summer!
