What makes a good sunset in Los Angeles?
LA sunsets are deceptive: the marine layer that makes summer mornings grey often burns off by afternoon, leaving high cloud structure that catches incredible color. The best evenings come when the marine layer clears completely by 4 PM, leaving wispy high cirrus over the Pacific horizon. Santa Monica Pier, Griffith Observatory, and the Malibu coast are the classic spots.
