OK, admit it. In the Instagram age, there’s nothing more invigorating than capturing the perfect sunset picture. There’s something special about taking a sunset pic and then seeing it translate from nature to your phone. 

In the Finger Lakes, the nighttime scenery is as gorgeous as it gets, and with five (!) of the Finger Lakes right in Ontario County’s backyard, it provides the perfect backdrop to snapping the sunset pic you’ve always wanted!

With the summer solstice on June 21, you have the most daylight hours you’ll have all year—perfect for preparing for that sunset shot. To help celebrate, I rounded up some of my favorite lakeview sunset snaps. Each one is unique and special!
