There's a kind of irony seeing this sunset in The New Forest. The first house that my new wife and I purchased was in The East London district known as Forest Gate. It was so named because it was the location of a gate erected in the 17th century to control cattle, preventing them from straying from Epping Forest. Nowadays as much as fifty percent of Epping Forest has been lost to urban development and an ever expanding London.
The New Forest, on the other hand, has protected it's 140,000 acres of heathlands and woodlands, it's still much the same size it was centuries ago.

These were taken from my timeshare in Atlantic City. The first two are sunrises. The last is from another suite and is a sunset.

Sunsets in the New Forest are renowned for their beauty, thanks to a combination of unique environmental conditions, diverse landscapes, and favourable light-scattering effects. The result is a vibrant, colourful, and often dramatic display across the sky.

The New Forest's location provides an advantage for brilliant sunsets. In drier seasons, especially autumn and winter, cleaner air with lower humidity allows light to travel with less interference. This results in more vivid, crisper colours and a stronger red and orange glow.
