In the spirit of a truly global event, we are asking participants to take a photo of the sunset from wherever you are in the world on 2 October 2021.

Pin your photo to the Padlet world map and take a peek at some of the others your fellow volunteers have posted. Be sure to include your name and a few words to describe the scene (for example, "from

my backdoor”).

Share a view of the sunset from your corner of the world!
