Post photos of nice sunsets taken in cities. Which is the world's best sunset of a city???

I think it's mine. I live in Aguascalientes, Mexico, and it has one of the world's best sunsets. A picture like this is not difficult to take in a normal day with good conditions. What do you think?

The Grand Canyon's got the best sunset.
I agree with you. Maybe the Great Canyon can beat Aguascalientes, but I'm not that sure, it's a serious competition. But I'm talking about cities. Populated places.
the pic is awesome.. but the question is non sense.. many cities have an awesome sunset.. look at Porto historic centre in the sunset :)

It's beautiful man. But in my opinion the city highlights the landscape. If you take only the natural colors of the sky, it's nothing out of this world.
I don't want to be a killjoy, but most "postcard" sunsets of skylines have used
coloured filters to exaggerate the effect. Some of the pix shown above are
genuine, and others are not. I find flat cities have the best sunsets,
as those that are too hilly go from dusk to dark quickly.
Puerto Vallarta in Mexico is justly famous for gorgeous sunsets.
added later: Ditto for some of the sunsets shown before. Some owe more
to coloured filters than to God.
The observation deck on top of the Empire State Building gets really good sunsets over the city.
someone should show a pic of Istanbul where the sun goes down behind the mosques, very beautiful.
I think almost every city that has the sea/lake to the west is blessed with marvellous sunsets!
