It’s true that you don’t need to go to Rarotonga to enjoy a great sunset. In fact, in most parts of the world you could even just stay home and watch the sun set every day. But how often do you do that?
I honestly, unfortunately, can’t remember the last time we took the time to do that at home- just pull up a front row seat to watch a glorious end of a day. Sure, there are times when, while taking a walk or driving in the car, we’ll happen to catch sight of a beautifully lit sky and take note of how the twilight colors objects so well.
Maybe it’ll be remarkable enough to share aloud or prompt us to fumble to find a camera quickly as it passes from view, buried behind skyscrapers, trees, and such. But more often than not, it’s barely a passing thought- like today. The sun is setting as I write this.
Yet somehow, while traveling, we make the time. Especially while traveling to beach locales. Our pace is slowed and whatever we’ve chosen to do with our day is put aside to sit and watch the final hour of daylight come to pass.
Rarotonga is the kind of place that naturally promotes in it’s visitors taking time to enjoy sunsets and stillness. It runs on island time. And while I’d be hard-pressed to say whether they have the best sunsets you could ever see, they certainly are beautiful even on a cloudy day. And their beauty is magnified by what they symbolize- us taking the time, nearly every day, to enjoy them.
I love sunset and sunrise. always great photography subject!
Thanks Sarah! Yeah, mother nature really deserves the credit here- these were taken with a basic digital point & shoot and are un-retouched!
Do you think pornography can be as addictive as drugs?
“Making” someone have sex is called rape. Please DON’T do that.

Glad to see you enjoyed your time at Rarotonga. I visited the Cook Islands a few years back, and like yourselves, I found myself totally unwinding into the typical day of Island life. Liza and I would go for a cruise on our scooters, and find a different place on the Island each afternoon for sunset. Great photo’s, with each one capturing the setting sun a little different each time. I particularly like the forth one down.
Thanks so much Jason- means a lot coming from a great photographer. 🙂 Where were you in The Cooks? Sounds like you and Liza got into a similar rhythm as us. I’m really glad we chose it in the end- with extremely nice, mellow people and so much beauty in such a small place we just naturally slowed down. Great to have that type of trip once in a while instead of the go-go-go!
Fantastic photos. I really love sunsets and wanna post my collection of them on my blog one day. I’ve seen then in the East and West, but rarely do I have the luck to capture them so purely like you.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We really have to give Rarotonga the glory- it’s so beautiful that it makes it easy 🙂 You should absolutely post yours- would love to see them!
These are really stunning! The third down might just become my desktop photo!
Awww! That’s a GREAT compliment! Okay, as long as you give us credit, they are copyrighted! 😉
This makes me want to drive out west to see the sunset since tomorrow it’s meant to be raining. You’re right, we never take enough time for these things.
Now I see that you were only in Raro for a couple of weeks. I’ve just Tweeted you asking whether you were coming over to NZ. Maybe next time you are in the neighbourhood:)
Thanks Marie! New Zealand is absolutely on the list- we’ve heard the most amazing things about it and have met so many great Kiwis. Hope to see you there soon!
Stunning shots I have to say! I’m absolutely obsessed by sunset and shooting it!
aw thanks alexandra! i understand the obsession- ha ha. they’re so great to watch and then so great to look at in pix later! 🙂
