well, I think what you're used to can make a difference. I prefer clear startlingly bright color sunsets, so the blurry summer sunsets in ohio are kinda weird looking (but sometimes pretty cool since they last so late). The summer sunsets at my house leave little to be desired since we can't see them very well (in summer the sun sets behind a bunch of trees and more mountains) but in winter when the air is clearer, the colors are much brighter and we can watch the pulsing globe sink behind further off mountains (no trees then!)

So then, if you live in a place that has hazy sunsets, you might prefer those to sharper looking sunsets. (depending on humidity and how much air pollution is in between you and the sun)

The sunsets here at school are very similar to home, except they occur even earlier since there is a big butt hill right behind my dorm, but the colors are nice and they flow straight into the hallway outside my room (the window at the end is nicely aligned for winter sun), which is how I saw the sunset that inspired this thread 8)

I wish I remembered more of what the sunsets in st. croix were. It was a beach sunset so probably very pretty.
