Fascination with Sunsets

I realized I'm intrigued by the sun set here in Perth. I think its because I've discovered the days are never light longer than 7 pm. Right now dusk is beginning at 6 pm. And when I googled sunset times for the year it said the latest will be 7 and that won't be until November. It seems like such a waste to have this beautiful place in the dark so early.  I find myself trying to rush away from school so I can sneak a quick bike ride in before the sun goes down.
