Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

When it comes to sunsets, it would be hard to beat the ones over Lake Huron, seen from the sandy beaches of Goderich, On. (I was there just a few days before it was flattened by a tornado...).
I've posted a couple to my blog, but most have been going to my Facebook page. Check this out:

They've actually won awards for their sunset views.
Locally, another fabulous spot is the beach of Montague Provincial Park on Galiano Island. People gather on the beach at night with chairs and wine just to sit and admire the spectacular view of the sun setting behind the islands to the west.
This is a terrific shot!
Not to get overly analytical, :) but .. sunsets might be the most photographed of all our world has to offer. Shifting beautiful hues of back-lit and under-lit ever-changing cloud formations, with an infinite variety of dramatic silhouetted subjects in the foreground ... all confirms why a Google Images search comes up with over 47 million hits.
Beautiful skies and cloud formations! I, for one, am glad summer's over.
Very nice sunset. Like your photo's
Spectacular sunset Ben.
