The perfect sunset that only happens twice a year

Posted

The perfect sunset, brought to you by ABC 10 News in San Diego. 

According to 10 News, photographers are expected to crowd to one particular spot on La Jolla's shores this week to catch the phenomenon known as "Scrippshenge."

Twice a year, the sun sets on the horizon just right as to fall directly between the pilings of Scripps Pier. 

For those hoping to catch a shot, your best chance is Wednesday, according to the website SunCalc.

Tomorrow's sunset is forecasted for 7:40 p.m.
