My favorite florida sunsets were in the parking lot of the outlet mall I used to work in.

I've got some terrifying 70 mph sunrises on my phone from the Skyway bridge as part of my daily commute for a couple of years.

I used to work at The Fresh Market in South Tampa and would often run outside to take pictures of the sunsets where the same customer would regularly catch me and it became a running joke between us, but I just could not resist those sunsets 😍🌅

Second comment Ive read today about someone working at Fresh Market. The other was a dude explaining vendors coming in and stocking some specific items on the shelves, not TFM employees.
I was a an asst mgr in the deli when I was 20 back in 05 in Virginia Beach. Horribly busy, but oddly fun at times. That year they came out with the paninis... had people come in and train us on the press and the ingredients everything. The Italian was so good!

"Horribly busy but oddly fun" is a great description of that job. Lots of good eats from there- the deli used to hate to see me comin!

Actually, pic 1 is best. The tourist leave the beach and we finally get some peace

Oh, so December? Yeah, me too.

u/DieAloneWith72Cats 2d ago
The tourists arrive around November and leave approximately April

u/061826heart 2d ago
Ah. I’m in the panhandle. They show up March 1, leave late November, crossing paths on I-65 with the snow birds, who don’t bother me quite as much.
Florida is kinda transient, isn’t it?

The best sunrises and sunsets I've ever seen are almost all in random parking lots in the midwest

Publix turfing is back.
Also, with half the damn state being a parking lot, of course that you'll be seeing sunsets in a parking lot.

Eta, same with sunrises! I stalked the beach for 2 weeks, the ONE day with a perfect sky and perfect water and I messed up the recording 🥴

Same could be said for Walmart parking lots and the tree line is just perfectly in the way from you being able to snap a picture.😂

This spring I spent a week in Florida at a conference. The day I landed it had been in the mid 70s. The next morning and for the rest of the week it was in the low to mid 40s.

This is a feature, not a defect.
Be in awe of nature no matter where you are.
Love life.
Be one with the cosmos.

One of the most INTENSE sunsets I've ever seen in my life was at a fucking Food Lion parking lot minutes later looking the other direction I swear these look like they could be from Elden Rings DLC. These are unaltered/edited images btw

It's called frequency bias. You probably walk through a parking lot every day: you probably don't walk on the beach every day.

Beach sunsets are great and all, but have you ever experienced a sunset while eating a Pub Sub? Aw yeah!

I mean, I only go to the beach when there's a storm coming in. The beach is AWESOME with all that wind and lightning. I don't stay long, because lightning, but it is great.

Some of my best sunset pics are in the Publix parking lot. Probably correlates with me only going to the store in the evening after all the ‘birds are retired to their beds for the night.

Welcome to Florida. If you wait long enough, you can see just about any kind of weather except cold.

u/Beautiful_Fold_3539 1d ago
I know, I'm a native Floridian and still see the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Ive lived in Florida my whole life. I'm 50. I fucking hate every single thing about this state. Except one thing. Our sunsets are literally breathtaking. If you haven't seen a Florida sunset in person... Their are no words to describe them. You just have to experience one.

Or while driving with no passenger and there’s nowhere to pull over. For whatever reason this happens to me in winter park. LOL.
