Traveling Sunset

March 10, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

Everyone knows that the azimuth of the sunrise and sunset changes throughout the year. But did you ever try to see how much and how quickly it happens? It is rather amazing. Observing changes like this is one of the advantages of visiting the same locations over and over again. But I've said enough on that topic in my past posts (and will probably again).

Below, you can see two photographs of a sunset on the waterfront of Buffalo, NY. They're both taken at the Gallagher Pier and they are not even separated by too much time.

I guess I should add two more to this collection, one on December 22, and one on June 21 to show the maximum difference between the two sunsets!

Have fun chasing sunsets wherever you are!
