You don't go to Paris for the sunsets. If it's sunsets you want,
come to Arizona.

I've noticed this newsgroup gets read by some people that actually lives in
Paris.
So, I wanted to ask what month/season gives (usually) the better sunsets in
Paris?
I know it's probably a childish question, but hey, that's how I am :)

Thanks!

I took great pics of sunsets in Paris in July/August (any year), even September.
But they were quite pale nonetheless, so I cheated using filters 80 and 81... sometimes

Or almost anywhere in the North American West.

Come to Calgary.

Thanks a lot Magda!
Surprisingly I've also seen some good-color sunsets in some pictures from
december but it didn't make much sense to me, and that's why the question
came to my mind.

Bollocks. You could come to Scotland where we have some crackers but us
Scots have enough humility to recognise that they happen elsewhere. The sun
here sets in the west like it does in most places, I imagine Paris is no
exception. Get up high and enjoy. My favourite place in Paris is La Defense,
at the top of the Arch. You can see everywhere from there. Hell, you can
even see Paris! Go there and enjoy!

There's no season for sunsets. The prettiest ones are usually the
result of a fortuitously favorable positioning of clouds in the sky.

I've seen extremely beautiful sunsets in Paris on occasion, but they
were uncorrelated with the season--just a consequence of having the
right clouds up there.

On most days, either there are so few clouds that the sunset is fairly
ordinary, or there are so many that the sun isn't visible at all.

Sunsets are the same everywhere. It's the same atmosphere, and the same
nearby star.

Quite so.

Pretty sunsets mostly depend on clouds. High, light, broken clouds seem
to work very well. Thick overcasts are useless, as are completely
cloudless skies (the norm in much of the American Southwest).

I've seen beautiful sunsets in both Paris and the American Southwest,
and neither tops the other.

Talking Paris, surely the latter predominates? (Which was my earlier
point: go somewhere on the Eastern side of the rockies if you want a nice
sunset on a frequent basis.)

Who knew that the whole planet had the same atmosphere locally? And here
I thought that things like humidity - and smog, a great maker of
colorful sunsets - varied from place to place.

Rubbish - Sunsets over water with the reflection of the sun bounded by palm
trees are different to cloudless sunsets over the desert are different to
the glorious colours of sunset with the right clouds.

Are you in Tucson? My son has the possibility of spending January in
Tucson as part of an architecture course. I'd be interested in what
you think.
