So just why are our sunsets so fabulous? Light scattering. At day's end light has to travel a long path to reach us & the violet, blue and green light of the spectrum is scattered. What remains is fiery reds, intense oranges, and flaming magentas. Everyone has a favorite spot for watching the sun set. What's yours?
