Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, the day can end beautifully.

It seems fitting to celebrate the sun setting on 2017 with a few of my favorite photos of color-drenched ocean sunsets from my travels. The palettes range from bright pastel indigos and corals to dusky ochres and pinks, each as stunning as the last.
1. Cancun, Mexico: Caribbean Sea
The shadows of Cancun outline the Nichupté Lagoon at sunset
2. New Brighton Beach, California: Monterey Bay
A sandpiper dines in the orange sand at sunset
3.Ruhl Plage, Nice, France: Mediterranean Sea
A drizzly early fall evening made way for a stunning orange sunset
4, Galway, Ireland: Galway Bay
Magical Galway Bay, where the colors of the coral and blue streaked sky dance on the water
5.Noordwick, The Netherlands: North Sea
Red sky at night, sailor’s delight, as the saying goes
6. Seacliff Beach, California: Monterey Bay
Midwinter sunsets are the most glorious along the Monterey Bay, and this orange sky is no exception.
