Someone once argued with me that there was no way possible that Delaware could have beautiful sunsets because our sunrises looking east over the ocean surely outdid them. Well, this post begs to differ. We rooted around the Only In Delaware Facebook page and through Flickr to find some really stunning Delaware sunsets.

1. The sun sinking over Rehoboth Bay, facing west from the Lighthouse in Dewey Beach (best enjoyed with a drink in hand).

2. I never thought I'd say that a bumper to bumper commute along Kirkwood Highway looked beautiful, but this sunset changed my mind.

3. Sun spots dot the lens of the camera in this bright sunset shot over Bombay Hook.

4. In the Instagram era that we're in, filters can really make a so-so photo, so-so amazing. Would you believe that this one over Wilmington is filter free?

5. On an amazing evening the sunset lights the entire sky pinks and purples, even looking east out towards the Atlantic Ocean from Cape Henlopen.

6. No doubt that the sun was setting after a hard day of work on this farm west of Dover.

7. We usually think of pinks and reds at sunset, but this bright blue sky with an edging of orange was stunning near Woodland Beach looking west.

8. Sunsets even make the phragmites in Port Penn look beautiful silhouetted against the sky.
