Sunrise or Sunset

[jason]

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

Sunset as sunrise happens at 0:too damn early. lol

 

[EddieK47]

I like both.Now that I'm retired I get to see sunset year around.AND no more alarm going off at 2:45 or 3AM!!!I still get up early enough to see sunrise but 4:30AM is early enough!

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.

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.

Sunrise happens in a moment while a setting sun lingers on the horizon, both glorious in their own way.

 

[TDale]

Both! I don't sleep much.

I am not a morning person, so I prefer to see a sunset. I must say, though, that when I'm in the woods and the sun is coming up and you can hear the woods come alive, I'm happy to be up that early. But not always.

Good point. When the animals are just waking and are still a bit sleepy, they're easier to shoot.

Again, sunrise. Each morning when I wake, I check my toes and if there is no tag on them I know it will be a good day.

 

[dinosaur]

Good for you, Grandpa! You're one of the few people on this site I won't argue with just for the fun of doing it. Have fun and keep looking at those sunrises.

rotflmfo!!

Sunrise - it's just beautiful. I do love a pretty sunset too. When I watch the sunrise I feel refreshed and ready for the day. When I see a sunset I feel tired and ready to settle in.

 

[briansnat]

I like 'em both. Sunsets tend to be more spectacular, so for photography purposes I prefer them. I also love the early morning quiet of a sunrise and the promise of brand new day.

 

[omegapd]

Always a morning person too. I love a sunrise- I try to get out every weekend and take a hike around the house and watch the sun come up. Peaceful, quiet and serene.
