      Definitely not, Colorado sunsets are wild. Here’s one from a few weeks ago, photo is literally blown out the colors are so wild, it looked much crazier in person.

      And this happens all the time.

      Edit: the hdr didn’t come through on some of these, like the second to last was SO MUCH MORE COLOR than that photo shows.

      Nah, the real difference? Pollution. In general, airborne pollution up high reflects red light and absorbs blue light. Vivid sunrises and sunsets are often found near cities for a reason.

        could also be just natural dust, like in germany we sometimes get sahara winds that make for beautiful sunsets

      This happens all over the Southwest, it really depends on patchiness of cloud cover. Amazing sunsets don’t care if you’re in the parking lot of Wal-Mart or out somewhere with trees.
