Same Sun - Different Sunset

Within a week's time, Joyce and I got to witness two beautiful sunsets on two different bodies of water. In comparing the bodies of water, we decided that the Cape beaches and Atlantic Ocean had nothing on the Lake Michigan beaches and Lake Michigan. We did notice that there was a different smell: The AO was much fishier smelling than LM. There was a different sound: The crashing of the waves was deeper and louder at the AC. There was a different feel: The AO sand feels much coarser and the water isn't as clear. The salt and sand is obvious when the waves hit your feet and legs. There was a different landscape: LM had the beautiful dunes and much prettier views. But the sun was the same. I have to say that, of the two sunsets, the Frankfurt Beach sunset was much prettier this time. I think that Joyce would agree, although I don't think she actually viewed this particular AO sunset because she had her head down and eyes closed, battling seasickness, when this one occurred.
