Because it's generally accepted to be the "BEAUTY SPOT PHOTO!" Not necessarily so! In great error they never turn around to see what the sun is doing as it flashes right past them at the speed of light! :-) Like? "What is it shinning on?" It dosn't stop at your feet! But flashes by creating quite often a far more beautiful photograph behind than the sunset itself! "NEVER SHOOT A SUNSET WITHOUT LOOKING BEHIND YOU!" A very nice result as you've shown when looking at where the sun is going and what it's shining on! Cheers, Dr. ted :-)
