One of the most interesting things I’ve stumbled upon lately is a site called Eternal Sunset. It hosts a variety of webcam links to the areas in the world where sunset is currently occurring. As I write this, it is a gray morning at 11:00 AM in Austin, Texas, but in San Sebastian, Spain, the time is 6:00 PM, the sun is setting, and it’s beautiful. With this site, you can rove all over the world from your desk chair, and have real-time sightings of our solar friend retiring on the horizon and introducing the night. Please take a look at this, and then someone tell me why I have not been able to find its corollary, a site for eternal sunrise. Check out not only the entire world, but also your own town. I found my time spent with sunsets most satisfying! Here’s the link.
