The FIUTS Photo Contest is a weekly opportunity for members of the FIUTS community to share images from around the world. The theme for this week was "sunsets.” Over the past week, we have received photos of thirteen beautiful sunsets from photographers from Angola, Malaysia, Brazil, Colombia, India, South Korea, Hong Kong, and the United States.
There were many great submissions and it was difficult for the FIUTS Staff to choose just three winners! Thank you to everyone for sharing your pictures - continue on to see photo entries and contest winners…

“This picture was taken moments before the sunset from the Sunset Cliff in San Diego.”

“This photo was taken in Cadiz, Spain in 2009. This has been one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen.”
Juliana Fernandez-Arteaga // Hometown: Envigado, Colombia
“This is a beautiful landscape of place called 'Coorg', which is also nicknamed as 'Scotland of India' .This is a popular weekend getaway destination which provides tranquility from the busy, Stressful City lives. This beautiful photo was taken during the sunset time, with the aroma of coffee in the air coming from the lush green coffee plantations. I personally feel that, it is very hard to describe a photo (memory) , just by looking at it rather we should live in the moment.”
Sai Sarath Chandra & Pavuluri // Hometown: Guntur, India
"I took it in Santa Barbara city, California. On the right side of the photo, a person jumping into the sky is me!”
Boyoung Park // Hometown: South Korea
“This photo was taken in Discovery Park during sunset and a girl was trying to hold the sun. “
Jocelyn Mah // Hong Kong SAR, China
“This photo was taken during my study abroad trip in Greece, Summer 2017. The photo features a waterfront where I'd go for daily evening walks after I finish with classes and assignments.”
Ehler Win // Seattle, WA, USA
“This picture was taken in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I watched the sun set over the Persian Gulf. Amazing to watch as the last bits of the sunshine disappear into the water. “
