The Colors of Sunset and Twilight

Everyone at one time or another has marveled at the beautiful red and orange colors of a sunrise or sunset. Although colorful sunrises and sunsets can be seen anywhere, certain parts of the world are especially famous for their twilight hues. The deserts and tropics quickly come to mind. 

The sky was a mystery of colours. Red, pink, purple, orange, yellow and brown all mixed together to give the picture perfect landscape. Just gazing at it, brought a sense of tranquility. The sun was melting into the sky. I was basking in the warmth glow that illuminated the place. The sun seemed to bring a sort of dense atmosphere that felt refreshing. It seemed like forever, but it was not. The night was pushing its way through. There was a strip of grey among the fiery colours of the sun. The sun was sinking into the sapphire ocean. The horizon was turning a darker grey. With every moment that went by there was a change in colour of the sky. In comparison to the soft beauty of the sun, the night was a beauty in its own way. It was more mystifying than the sunset. The night had dissolved the sun and the sky was now a midnight blue. It will be another day until the sun sets again.
