Apparently you Insta lovers are SUPER into Californian sunsets, which were the most Instagrammed in the world with a total of 5.7 million photos in the past year, closely followed by  Sicily, Italy and Bali, Indonesia.

Surprisingly, the UK achieves 6th on the most Instagrammed sunset worldwide beating Phuket, Thailand as well as Ibiza.  1.2 million photos of sunsets in Greater London were uploaded to Instagram in the last 12 months whereas Ibiza saw just over 1 million.

When analysing the 286 million sunset images uploaded, 98 per cent were found to portray a sense of joy whereas 2 per cent gave of a sense of sadness.

Some psychologists argue that admiring sunsets can boost well-being, increase generosity, and enhance life satisfaction – therefore a moment that deserves to be savoured.

Here’s some Instagram inspo of the top ten to help improve your Monday mood:

10. Ibiza, Spain – 1.01 million posts
