I'm surrounded by forest and hills that aren't high enough for me to get above the trees. I can't see far enough to get a real horizon. Though if I wasn't so lazy I probably could go to some place where it's a little better.
I'm guessing pollution is a factor in ruining New Yorks sunsets. But standing on the roof of a tall building should give you a spectacular view...
Your parents location is special and unique yes. Just like any other place with a special and unique sunset. I think a huge part of the earth has good sunsets. But deep in forests and cities you can't expect a clear view. The play of light and shadow between trees at sunset is nice, but it's tricky to sungaze in that environment...
