Beauty might be all around us, but there's many of us who don't immediately think of the golden arches when they think #art.

That's going to all change though, thanks to an Instagram account called "@Maccas.Sunsets" that features majestic roadside McDonald's signs, complete with a delicious sunset in the background.

The account is by two guys from Sydney, Australia, who want to be known as Ed and Pat. They claim they don't work for McDonald's, however, but do eat it.

"We are both strangely captured by Maccas and sunsets. So it was a natural progression to make this account to celebrate the union of these two great things," the duo said in a statement via Instagram message.

There's only one issue though -- there's not many photos on the picturesque account. So maybe you should slide into their DMs.

Don't let the sun go down on the Macca's Sunsets account.

The recipe seems simple: All you need is a nice sky at dusk, with the yellow and red sign blaring in the foreground. It's easy as (deep fried) apple pie.

"We enjoy sharing that with other like minded people, and we're stoked that it's getting a response. The big M and the striking colours of the fading light of day, what a sight to behold," they said.
