Line the sunset up behind a landmark and be there for it

“Planning where a sunset will land feels like overthinking a sunset. Then it drops dead behind the thing you picked, on time, and it doesn't.”

The Recipe

  1. Pick the most striking thing on your western skyline: a spire, a tower, a crane, a single tree on a hill.
  2. Check today's sunset direction with a sun-compass app, work out where you'd have to stand for the sun to go down right behind it, and walk to that spot before it drops.
  3. Hold still through the last few minutes and watch the sun set behind exactly the thing you chose.
