Instagram to the rescue, sort of. A coder named Michelle Chandra has created a few maps that give an interesting look at all the photos uploaded to Instagram with the…sigh…hashtag #sunrise or #sunset.

On top of that, the maps will show in real time as the uploads are being made, and the size of the dot representing the geographical location will be larger depending on how close to sunrise or sunset the person actually is, geographically speaking. In other words, if they wait six hours to upload the photo, the dot will be smaller.

There’s even a map showing what the author refers to as ‘synchronicity,’ in which one person uploads a sunset as someone else uploads a sunrise, and vice versa.

There are a lot of nice pictures, and fro all the hyperbolic prose on the site it’s a neat application and some of the pictures are stunning. If you just need a sunrise or sunset, especially from distant parts of the world, give it a look.
