ABOUT CREATING THE SUNSET: Twice a year, the sunset is directly down Maximo Channel from Maximo Seafood Shack, located at Maximo Marina, St. Petersburg, Florida. Local communities gather at the "Shack" to celebrate, socialize and enjoy the sun set, which can be seen setting across Boca Ciega Bay behind St. Pete Beach.

In 2015, this occurred on March and September. On March 19, the local communities gathered for the Sunset Social at Maximo Seafood Shack to celebrate the event with fresh seafood and cold beverages, beer or wine. Participants arrived early and reserved a spot on the dock with lawn furniture. While there is no sunset bell to ring, everyone raises cheers when the sun sets!

But how are these magnificent sunsets created? The answer cannot be seen from earth. Robert Neff has captured how the the sun creates the sunset reaches from space with sunset colors and textures. The sun uses a collection of brushes and palette knives, while mixing colors on the palette. The horizon is the canvas.

The sun’s perspective is reverse from our perspective on earth. The sun paints the sunset in reverse adding textures and depth to create the masterpiece for us to enjoy. This is a live painting where colors change as the sun moves toward the horizon. We only see the see the smooth skies, pastels, clouds, and setting sun.
