Traffic pollution gives good sunsets, I've never seen sunsets quite
like those in LA anywhere else.

My favourite location is the Pont Alexandre III. The sun is in the "right place" and the

The sun never set on the British Empire because the British Empire is in
the East and the sun sets in the West.

Aren't they different and beautiful in Autumn/Winter when the sun is lower
in the sky?

The empire is about 250.000 square kilometers in size nowadays.

The figure is too minute in both cases to make real difference.

> The sun never set on the British Empire
That's a reference to the fact that it was very large and that at any time
of day there would always be a territory that was daytime (it may not have
been actually true but it was pretty close).
Going West of the UK would have had Atlantic islands and Canada to keep it
true until the sun got around to the Pacific and Australia.
http://www.britishempire.co.uk/maproom/maproom.htm
And of course in the figurative sense.
>because the British Empire is in the East and the sun sets in the West.
If you forget the Caribbean, Canada, many pacific and Atlantic islands, as
well as Ireland and New Zealand, all of which are west of England.

Because most of the photos of december I've seen are pretty dark and cloudy,
with the remarkable 1 or 2 exceptions I mentioned :)

Nah, what do you know? :)
Mixi has no soul. He's just a computer program anyway.

The sun's always about the same hight in the sky at sunset. Oddly enough.

Spoken like someone who has never seen Arizona sunsets.
While I have no doubt you can sometimes see a rather nice sunset
in Scotland, out here you are more likely to see a very good one
for the simple reason that it is almost always clear weather, and
what clouds we may have simply enhance the visual impact.
Calendars with photos of western American sunsets are published,
but I know of none with photos of Scots sunsets.

Yes, I'm in Tucson (that's me being quoted there). The only
problem with spending a month in Tucson is he may never want to
leave.
I moved here in 1966 to be a grad student, stayed after I dropped
out, left to pursue my employment in 1979, and now that I've
retired I've returned to the place I always wished I never left.
