Default Sunrise or Sunset

As I sit here, waiting for the sun to come up, I wonder, which do people tend to prefer. A sunrise, or a sunset.

I like them equally well.

I get to work at 7:00, and have a top floor unobstructed view of the horizon from my office window.

Equally unobstructed view to the east and west from the front and back porch.

I love the sunsets the best. Sunrise is to early for me, but on those rare occasions when I get to see a sunrise it is definitly a moment that takes my breath away.

"I don't know," Alice answered.

Having always been a morning person, I prefer the stillness of a quiet morning. Having said that, I do enjoy a beautiful sunset as well.

I like sunrise a little better because you can sit there and hear everything in the woods starting to wake for the day.

I have intentionally watched a sunrise twice. Too early. I'll probably do it again in 10 years when I forget it sucks.

I see both since work starts at 6 AM. I think I much prefer the sunset since I am home from work and relaxing then.

Out here we don't have time to watch a sunrise. You get up, have coffee and a biscuit and go to work on the ranch. After repairing fences, fixing a gutter, training a horse in the round pen, bolting lunch, cutting hay, splitting wood for the Winter supply, putting a new shear bolt on the brush-hog, and having dinner there comes a quiet time. We call it smelling the roses. A man's got to take time to smell the roses.

Watching a sunset is just that. No two are alike and they all inspire a sense of wonder. There is something greater. It's beauty and power are unmistakable.
