I've seen plenty of pretty sunsets while driving on road trips. It's hard to choose just one. The most beautiful night sky I have ever thus far seen was in the middle of Nowhere, Missouri, where there were no artificial lights for miles, the stars looked so close you could touch them, and you could even see the profile of the Milky Way. It was so overwhelming, it was almost like tripping without taking any acid. I was both weirded out and awed by it.

The most memorable sunset was, I guess, in college, when my mother asked me to take her to the beach, because she hadn't been to the beach in years. The beach is only about an hour from her house, but she doesn't drive on the Interstate, and my dad wouldn't take her (she divorced him two or three years later for someone who WOULD take her to the beach). I'm not a beach fan....I prefer mountains....but on one of my weekends home from school, I took her, and we walked along the sand late in the afternoon, until the sun set. As we were facing west, I could actually see the sun move as it went down in the sky and dipped below the horizon out over the ocean. I'd never actually seen the sun move like that before, so it was pretty cool, and I've never forgotten it. Beach sunsets are unlike any other, even if I avoid going to the beach if I can.
