It's time for the second bi-weekly Travel PIP poll! This week's theme is:

Sunsets and Sunrises

Share your favorite sunrise or sunset photos. On the beach, over the savanna, behind a city skyline, etc... The sky is literally the limit!

Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.

Sunrise from glamorous Newark Airport (you can just see Freedom Tower on the right)

Sunset on Waikiki Beach at House Without a Key

Sunset from my back porch (looking over Puget Sound and the Olympics). I'm pretty sure this was during forest fire season.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

Not a great photo, but Big Island, Hawaii

Cheating a bit because this from our roof and not a trip (but our roof is my favorite place to watch the sunset)... waiting for the Hudson River fireworks to begin on the Fourth of July.

It's a bit hard for me to play with this one because I don't have that many readily available applicable pics. I also tend to be in a lot of them.

Here's an interesting one of London. It's not my favorite bit of London but it's a pretty cool shot. This is taken near the Mayor of Greater London's office.

The uploader isn't accepting more of my photos. I'll try adding in another post to see if that works.

Here is one of the sun setting while I was walking through an abandoned Roman city called Solin. I have a lot more pics from this visit, but the experience really blew my mind. This was walking along in a city street.

Ok, the photo uploader doesn't seem to be working for me.

Let's just all understand that I'm going to be such a PW when these threads are created. Sorry in advance. Just be glad you're not FB friends with me because I guarantee you, it is much worse.

Sunset on our honeymoon in Bora Bora:

Sunset while on safari in Tanzania:

Cloudy sunset in Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic:

Sunset over the Whitsunday Islands, Australia:

Sunset over Santorini, Greece:

Sunset over the Atacama Desert, Chile:

And two variations on the theme ---

This is the color that Uluru (Ayer's Rock, Australia) turns during sunset - it was just beautiful:

This is the moon rising over Samburu, Kenya, during our night of camping under the stars in a fly tent:

These are amazing!

Ok, I am trying this again. Here is a cool London sunset at night. It's not my favorite sunset but I don't have a ton of good sunset or sunrise pics though I have seen plenty. I'd add more but last time the uploader wouldn't take more pics. This is by the Mayor of Greater London's office.

Here is another. It is the sun setting over Volosko, Croatia. It's a view of Kvarner Bay which is really beautiful. The town itself is sleepy and Mediterranean but has fantastic food and wine. This is not that far south from Slovenia.
