"The link is currently set for San Francisco (on Valentine's Day to be precise), but I've gotta say, I just love this link. You can find the sunrise and set for any day - great for shutterbugs that want to catch those magical golden hours and need to plan on timing. Great too, for planning a romantic sunset beach stroll."
