The Top 5 Series: Best Sunsets Around the Globe

#5 – Koh Lanta, Thailand
Life is simpler on Koh Lanta. It’s tough to beat unlimited access to friendly dogs and cats, a bungalow near the beach, and nightly sunsets that look like this. Add my beloved Princess Long Beach Lady Boy and a large Beer Chang and it’s my definition of heaven.

#4 – Santorini, Greece
Thousands of people around the world have photos of Santorini in their bathrooms, kitchens, and cubicles, but few actually get the chance to witness an Oia sunset firsthand. Last fall I got lucky and popped over to the gorgeous island for this. It did not disappoint.

#3 – Zanzibar, Tanzania
I had a love relationship with the island of Zanzibar. On one hand, it was impossible to go five minutes without being approached by a tout. On the other hand, the sunsets look like this, every night, without fail. Makes the negatives fade into the distance.

#2 – Angkor Wat, Cambodia
While my shot of the pink sky silhouetting Angkor Wat is beautiful, this was the true gem of the evening. As I walked towards my tuk-tuk across the outer lawn the descending sun released this burst of orange light across the horizon—absolutely magical.

THE WINNER, #1 – Copacabana, Bolivia
While sitting in the hotel room overlooking Lake Titicaca, you could not believe the scene—it was the most spectacular sunset in the entire world. I would put my entire life savings on that statement. This photo has not been touched since pressed the shutter release button and  think about this moment nearly every day as dusk approaches.
