Watching the sun setting on a clear seaside horizon is like watching paint dry. Nothing seems to happen and then all of the sudden it's gone.
Watching the sun set through the rigging of sailboats is a completely different experience as the sun slices its way through spars, masts and cables. A far more dramatic departure.
