Thank you Sinkingfeeling,

I suppose if I were to add a delicious pun to this it would have to be that Sunsets should be your specialty, sinking every night and all.

I love the photo, and only hope I made you smile.

My husband and I visited Costa Rica in January and stayed in Nosara on the Pacific coast at the elbow where the next land mass you would encounter would be Antarctica.

Every night many of us (not just tourists either) would gather at the beach to watch the sunset. There with nothing in the way of the view, just after the sun dipped below the horizon a sudden spread of light through the skies was a fascinating phenomenon. In Central Texas we have too many trees and hills to experience sunset that way.

In the Texas Panhandle you can see the spreading afterglow there too. So friends from the flat lands of Lubbock tell me.
