Without a doubt, Denver Airport is a great place to go to see photo-worthy sunsets. The sky there always gives you something new. Oh, sure, you can go to the island of Maui and see spectactular colors every evening. Maui's sunsets look like postcards (which is why there are so many postcards of sunsets available there). They're peaceful -- the prototypical sunset that sends you off to bed with memories of fluffy, pink clouds and whatnot.

Denver's sunsets startle you with their aggressiveness (and sometimes, their blunt weirdness). It must be the proximity to the mountains that causes them to surprise you with colors and patterns you don't see on any Hawaiian beach.

These sunsets taken were 24 hours apart. And I'll bet that if I had stayed another day, I'd have a third photo to share with you.
