EVERYONE LOVES SUNSETS

Every sunset by the beach (especially in Siesta Key because it is very crowded), I am amazed by the number of people who gather along the beach with their cameras and mobile phones as soon as the sun goes down.
Beaches in this part of Florida face west toward the gulf of Mexico and the sun sets right into the sea before your eyes.

It is truly a beautiful moment of the day, magical sometimes, with the air warm and patches of hot colors filling up the sky.
And most people seem to be attracted to it, like and instinct and most of us try to capture it or take advantage of it to make their most beautiful pictures ! And they should, the light just before sunset is very flattering.
Either families or groups of teenagers, parents shooting their children, a photographer with her assistant shooting a model (and very worried I was shooting her model, sorry for that), an Amish with a phablet (someone needs to explain to me what the deal is with Amish people in Siesta key and what the deal is with technology in their community, I am a bit confused).

Everyone loves sunsets ! And as a matter of fact, so do I.

It is my favorite moment of the day and I keep thinking of summer days when they seem to last forever.
Because of them, I have always loved houses and gardens facing south rather than west, I cannot be bothered with morning sunrise most of the time (though it does set the day on the right foot !) but sunset is definitely my favorite moment of the day !

What about you, what sun people are you ?
