A Neverending sunset

Have you ever wondered what's the part of the day that you like the most? Well, I have and I can say with any certainty that it's not the morning...., Lunch? Hmm... maybe! No, what I really enjoy is that fraction of time during which the sun gently slides behind the horizon. When the sky is set on fire blushing in a orange pinkish glow. At this time reality is altered...even shadows on the ground become abnormally long... you know a day has gone, was it good or bad it doesn't matter, it's like the sun drags every attachment with it beyond the horizon.

I often think how short is this moment, but in Finland is possible to enjoy a never ending sunset and even if the sun does disappear the pinkish glow never stops to paint the sky granting the possibility to enjoy this moment to the full.

Fausto, that's so funny...that's my favorite part of the day too! I'm not kidding. It's when the sun has just slipped below the horizon but there is still light in the atmosphere. There is an incandescence to the light at the time, an amazing glow- it's best during summer. Here in L.A. that time period is quite fleeting. I try to take note of it as often as I can. To me it is the most beautiful part of the day.

Sunset is magical, especially during summer!!

But it's not the sunset that I'm describing exactly. It's the brief moments after the sun has gone down before the darkness sets in. It's amazing.

To me, it's the moment when the sun is sliding behind the horizon that's amazing, when the sun is a giant orange ball that quickly disappears...it's only few minutes long, but that's the best part to me!
