Trident Top 10 - Sunsets

It is REALLY cold back in England and it is also getting dark at about 4 in the afternoon. This is quite a shock to my system after a blissful 8 months travelling from warmth and sunshine to heat and daylight. To remedy this return to the ice therefore, I have decided to make the next Top 10 list about sunsets. I'm very sure that everyone in Facebook here in the UK got quite fed up of the beautiful views I was treated to everyday.. but please allow me once last outburst of sighs and gasps at the glorious colours and scenes that greeted my eyes as the sun went down.

Top 10 Sunsets

10) Wakestock, Week 6

The view across the (admittedly very chilly) hills of North Wales was a welcome splash of beauty after the brutal storm of that morning.



9) Monegros Desert Festival, Spain, Week 8

The 24 hour rave in a Spanish desert 3 hours outside of Barcelona was a total scorcher. The light was an incredible golden orange and lit up all the people dancing in the rowdy hip hop tent.



8) Ibiza, Week 17

On one warm evening in Ibiza, I headed to a beach bar with a load of my pals from Red Bull who were over on the island for a holiday. We sat and drank Sangria as the sun went down and ate some very tasty steak.



7) Rocking The Daisies, South Africa, Week 19

The Rocking The Daisies Festival was located nestled among some hills in the South African countryside. Beautiful and sunny in the daytime; the moment the light disappeared, we were plunged into proper star-glistened darkness. Here was the view across the natural lake at the festival before the night drew in.



6) Garden Festival, Croatia, Week 7

The Croatian festivals were held right on the tip of a peninsular along the Dalmatian Coast. The view was constantly stunning, and the little DJ booth on the edge of the water provided some incredible snaps.



7) Festival Of The Sun, Port Macquarie, Week 29

Australia is beyond beautiful 24 hours a day, but as the second day of this intimate festival drew to a close, all 3000 ticket buyers were treated to this lovely sight behind the main stage.



6) Miami, Week 22

For one blissful week I was living right on Miami Beach and the seemingly endless stretch of white sand was complemented by this stunning backdrop. I took about 1000 photos of this one as the colours changed.



5) Ibiza, Week 1

For my first festival experience, I got to dance on top of an ancient fort to a Mark Ronson DJ set as the sun went down. Pretty impressive start, and the fun didn't stop for 30 weeks!



4) Soundwave Festival, Croatia, Week 9

We're back to Croatia for an amazing dancing experience in the heat of the evening - with our toes dipped in the water. Bliss.



3) Cancun, Mexico, Week 24

On the way back from a day trip of snorkelling and swimming with dolphins (amazing), our boat pulled back into our local port in Cancun and we were treated to this stunning view through the ship's mast.



2) Ibiza, Week 18

The sunset at Cafe Mambo in Ibiza is infamous - and while sceptical at first about the amount of tourists and hype that this view had associated with it, I couldn't fail to be won over by the colours and warmth that awaited my eyes as I sat sipping wine on the edge of the rocks.



1) Koh Samui, Thailand, Week 26

The number 1 spot goes to the island Koh Samui in Thailand. On November 28 I went along to the Loy Krathong festival with some Thai locals - and floated out a floral offering across the waters of this lake as the sun went down. It was a beautiful moment and an amazing sight. This photo shows a local boy wading into the water to push out his flowers into the night.




Well, there you go. Quite revoltingly beautiful. :)
