Just Another Sunset??

[rgs]

It is commonly suggested that sunsets are a waste of time. That they are cliche and the market is saturated with them. All true, I suppose, but I have just learned that the first image below was just selected as the cover of a book with a pretty large print run for which I will be getting a pretty large fee. So this is kind of a celebration post. My wife wants to know if the book is a "scary" one    The other two are from the same evening.

Congratulations!
Those are all much more interesting than the run-of-the-mill sunsets.

Boring sunsets may well be a waste of time. These aren't. Congratulations on the book.

Sunsets still have mass appeal imo. Personally I don't get bored looking at a worthy sunset and I still like to photograph them. These are a little different and worth looking at more than once!

+1 One can never have too many sunsets, at least if they are shot by you!

Why not focus on sunrises? At least, the sun is on the other side so you've got original shots. I know - they're often rather misty so sunsets are much easier. And you don't have to wake up early.

I'm not sure if I like #1 or #3 better but all three of them are rather impressive.

Here in Oklahoma our sunsets tend to be orange and are frequently quite dramatic. We have some of the best anywhere. Sunrises are a bit more gentle with a lot more magenta. They really are different from sunsets. I'm attaching a couple of sunrises from Colorado just because they are recent. They tend not have sunsets there because the mountains get in the way.

Thanks to everyone who has responded. Your comments are all appreciated.

Sometimes the mountains get in the way, depending on where you are but we get plenty of nice sunsets here in Colorado!
