Sun Setting

I always find it interesting that the sun seems to travel faster when rising and setting. I realize it's most likely just an optical illusion because there is a target to compare it to, as in the horizon, but I like to think that the sun reacts as we do on any work day. It is in a rush to get to work on time, and when the shift is over, it can't get off the clock fast enough. Ok, so it wouldn't pass in text books, but all the same...it was a lovely light display when the sun 'punched out.'
