Sunrise or sunset.... which do you think is most beautiful? I love sunsets. They make me feel blessed and peaceful.

Ilike both each has their own colors

I like them both but I prefer the sunrise better. It happens during my most peaceful time of the day. I love sitting on the front porch with a cup of coffee watching the sunrise. 

Since I get up so early, I love a nice sunrise !

To me, there's nothing like the sunrise of a shiny new day.

Not technically sunrises, but the quiet moments right before the rest of the world wakes up. Obviously everything is in constant motion here on our little planet, but in those couple moments it all stands still before bursting into color. With sunrises, everything seems to start all at once; sunsets rarely mean the end of activity for the night, around here anyway.

I think the only time I've ever preferred a sunset is in the summers of highschool when my mom finally vetoed the "street light curfew" haha. My friends and I would sit on the bridge downtown by the baseball fields and watch it go down before starting another round of the same game.

I love the sunrise, but am never up to see it. Lol ;D

Sunrise and Sunsets! Our earth is a marvelous home, displaying constant wonders—colorful sunsets, glistening star-filled skies, and a variety of plant and animal life. Regardless of where we live, we enjoy some of these and other marvels of our earthly home.

Dear Ravin,

Both are very wonderful for me...I will basically just take whatever I can get, here...

But in the early 1970's, when I was asst. Supervisor and lead instructor in the Cytology Dept. at the University of Washington, I would come to my office at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle at dawn for quiet head start on busy days...

And somehow the incredibly beautiful, blazing sunrise would reflect off the windows of the VA Hospital sitting on Beacon Hill across town, unforgettable - still an inspiration.

I just now learned that beautiful building was constructed 1932, art deco, and was used as the headquarters for Amazon.com between 1998 and 2011. Anyway, this is the view I had, you can imagine what it was like with all those gorgeous windows ablaze with the fire of sunrise!

Yes sunsets for sure...... The only time I was really into seeing the sun rise was when I was "misbehavin" and not sleeping for days at a time! Sun rises bring back too many negative memories for me.

Sunrise because they seem so rare and special because I've only seen one or two of them.

Both are beautiful but I like to be out walking as the sun rises and the world begins to wake. It's a lovely time of the day.

When I was a kid Montana I was into photography.  I loved to take pictures of the sunsets and sunrises.  Given the nature of the climate in Montana (humidity mostly), generally speaking, I saw 10 fantastic" sunset to every one such sunrise.

But perhaps the most beautiful sunrise I was ever present for occurred in Texas when I was in my early 30's and she and I watched it over a glass of 1971 Piesporter Goldtropfchen.

As they say, a beautiful woman makes the wine taste better and makes the sky bluer.

(For those of you who don't drink, 1971 was designated a jarhunderts year wine.  The name of the town is Piesporter, and "the town's most notable wines come from its Goldtropfchen vineyard (whose name means 'Droplets of Gold'")

And that pretty much describes the whole experience.  (We'd known each other about 10 years.)

Hi Ravin! It's sunsets for me. It signaled the end of another day that I lived through at home - one day closer to the time I could move out. I would take my dog and we would just walk and walk until I found peace.

Both are a new beginning.

Where miricles are born.

Sunrise, so long as I've slept that night.

Sunset,

Hi
Ravin! I will also go for sunset! Sunrise normally happens too early and I
never manage to wake up to appreciate it. I am pretty sure that it’s equally
soothing, but for now, I will have to stick to when the sun starts going down! At
times, I will go to the nearby cliffs to enjoy the sight and it’s blissful!

I love them both, but I'm an early morning person.  I'm always grateful to witness the unfolding of another day.

Sunset! The darkening hues from the setting sun are great sources of inspiration for my writing. Also, the sunset indicates that I'm getting closer to being able to sleep (:

I have seen a lot of sunrises, and I can safely say I have never seen one I cared for. 

Sunrise.

They are both beautiful, sunrise with the blue sky of the rising sun and sunset with the light of the sun, when it goes off. We can see them by some photos which are wonderful, specially we go to watch it by ourselves.

I used to belong to a "Prayer Group" that would get up before dawn and drive to the beach greeting the morning sun rise with prayer. Although I regret the wasted time in prayer, I will never regret seeing the earth spin the Sun into view every morning as the first beam of light cascaded toward us over the ocean.

I worked at UPS during my college years, and had switched to the "Twilight Shift" in year 3 of 4 years. It was less money but totally worth it. The UPS building was located in Dover NH, in a big industrial park that was not built up that much and was surrounded by old farm land with open sweeping fields with slight grassy knolls . . . The outline of trees was perfect . . . Every night as the sun set on this wonderful backdrop, the colors that were in place by whatever was in the air that particular night, was reflected off the clouds. Each sunset was a time to stop, and reflect deeply, and just breath the clean air. I made sure to enjoy that moment every time I could.

Whether the sun is spun into view or out of view, I find nature truly marvelous to behold.
