Something about the sunsets here

There is something about the sunsets here.

When the sun sets, it looks larger than any other time I've seen.

And the colors are brilliant. Deep oranges, sometimes various shades of orange.

And the sun sets quickly. Once it gets near the horizon, it seems to slip beyond our view more quickly than I've noticed other places in the world.

Here are photos from the other day, as we were heading down the E11 from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. The photos really don't do the sunset justice, and and of course it would be better if the photos weren't taken from the car :-)   But you get the idea!
