Probably for him, but the wrong niche if he wants to make money. :-)

Yeah, when in the tropics, I like to just lie there on the beach and let
the sunset be the fastest moving thing around. :-) Ahhhhhhh......
(Martinque, this winter...)
Actually, the fast moving sunsets in the tropics are a challenge in
another way. I'm a painter and I particularly love the long shadows you
get around dawn and sunset. You have to paint *really* fast to capture
them in the tropics.

Huh? Maybe not if your taking photos, but it sure makes a difference
when you're looking at the sunset. Sunset involves more than jst the
actual disc of the sun; it's interesting for its effect on the entire
landscape. I'm a painter and I spend a lot of time looking at the
landscape in all sorts of weather conditions. Humidity changes
everything. Edges become blurrier, aerial perspetive has more effect the
higher the humidity.

Re: Sunsets in paris...
Those puffy things are tiny drops of water particles floating in the air
named clouds, not really vapor.
