From what I can tell, people take their sunsets very seriously.

We rented a condo near the south end of Fort Myers Beach and every evening people would go out just to watch the sun set.

A few times we were at Times Square around sunset. People would bring out their chairs and others would line up along the pier. I guess most of them were tourists, but they sure seemed to appreciate the simple pleasure of just watching the sun disappear beyond the horizon.
