Since I wrote about sunrises just the other day, how about their beautiful counterpart, sunsets? While sunrises are beautiful, I’m more of a sunset person…you can sit back, enjoy the breathtaking colors and relax as night becomes day. Even just catching one from my backyard is always a beautiful experience. But of course, North Carolina has both the beach and the mountains…so our sunsets get especially beautiful.
