This winter was amazing for snow and sunsets. Having short days for a seasons makes it easy to be out and about when the sun is setting, around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. While the sunsets were largely yellows and oranges out our back windows, the sky opposite was often even more impressive with pinks and blues reflecting at the opposite horizon.
This reminds me of the dilemma my friend had for accomodations on Santorini. If you read the reviews, people staying on the west side of the island said they had the best views, and people staying on the east side of the island said they had the best views. It seemed to me strange not to plan to watch the sunset on the east side of the island, but we ended up staying on the west side of the island and saw them there too. Both, as reported, were spectacular. We couldn't, however, see both sides of the sky at the same time, like we did all winter, walking east and west for exceptional views, except for the very tip of the island where we ate supper one night with crowds at our feet and wishing us to hurry up and finish our meal.
