So, if you are looking to enjoy a show in the sky, keep these two key ingredients in mind: weather and location (face it, even though we love watching the sun set in the east, its best viewed facing west).

Don’t wait until the sun goes down to look at the sky, these 10 places will have you sungazing your evenings away.

Red skies by night, sailor’s delight!
