Beautiful sunsets from around the world: The new therapy I’m addicted to

Beautiful Sunset

Beautiful sunsets from around the world

I watched the most beautiful sunset of my life sitting on a bus en route to Amsterdam. The only effort I made was to elbow my way to get to the front seat on the top deck. I did earn some nasty looks in the process, but it was all worth it. I’ve turned into a sunset addict ever since. I also acknowledge the fact that being a sunrise addict would do me more good and it is on my bucket list, for over 50 years, that is.

An ugly photo, but this is the beautiful sunset I saw sitting on a bus which inspired me to enjoy more sunsets

While I saw the Sun nearly every day in India, I did everything to protect myself from it. I realized its value after I moved to Germany. My flatmate nearly fell off her chair when she discovered that I went sunscreen shopping. And when she said, “you won’t need that here”, I retorted with a “yeah, right! What do you know about tanning”. Only now as I look at the sunscreen lotion, gathering dust in the corner, I get what she meant.

It appears to me that the Sun goes on a six-month sabbatical, perhaps to India, to shine its strongest. When I tell my friends that I miss seeing the Sun and worry about not having enough vitamin D, they respond to me saying that “the Sun is currently busy frying people in India.”

North Germany is known for its gray weather and in Kiel it rains nearly every day, all seasons. Therefore, when the Sun makes its grand appearance people go wild with joy. The sunroof of the cars slide open, men go shirtless while women show off their glossy legs, all in the pursuit of getting a tan. The best sunglasses and barbecue grills will be on display in parks and courtyards. It looks like a open air festival.

After my best sunset experience on the bus, I resolved to enjoy as many sunsets as possible before the Sun goes on a vacation this year and turns out it is also therapeutic.

Here are some beautiful sunsets I’ve savoured from around the world:

Sunset from The Hague, the sea city of the Netherlands. I never saw such a lavender sky before. Scheveningen beach is famous for its gorgeous sunset views

There is barely any postcard of Hamburg’s cityscape that doesn’t feature the river Elbe. It is one of the main characteristics of Hamburg, flowing through and around the city, branching off into many canals. It also hosts some excellent vantage points to enjoy gorgeous sunsets. 

Kiel is a hidden gem in North Germany. It offers a plethora of opportunities to enjoy sunsets on some of the gorgeous beaches.

Magical: watching birds making their way home against the brilliantly painted sky and listening to their calls.
