Sunsets

When people are travelling they usually have time to see things that they don't normally notice or never took the time to notice.  Sunsets are something that most working people just don't take the time to look at.

Even in the big cities where you would think a sunset can't be seen, you would be surprised, if just a few minutes could be given to take a look.  Sometimes a short drive is needed to get to get a better view, but they are there.  Life goes by way to fast and a sunset is just a small thing that happens every day, but look at what it seems to do to people who stop to look at them.  They can be so calming, it doesn't matter how many you see, they still take your breath away each and every time.

Traveler's Digest lists these following places as the Top Ten Best Places to see a sunset in the World...

Sentosa Island, Singapore
Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro
