I love a good sunset, but there’s something about the sunrise I love just a little bit more.

Oooh tough choice. Sunset but just a slight preference. Gorgeous.

…sunsets can be stunning but just by the very nature of a sunrise being an opening/rather than a closing, they’re just filled with something more than visual for me….:love:…very uplifting beginning of a new day/new dawn as they say…

Really like both.
However it would be sunrise I'd prefer to watch.

Somehow I feel a lot more watching a sunrise.

Has to be Sunrise really (although I don't see them much)

Watch the sunrise over the many monuments in Bagan is something to behold.
But sunsets are better because you can have a drink.

Sunrise, something a bit poignant about Sunset, Sunrise is a new opportunity

…actually in reflection, I think both equally/I don’t prefer one over the other, it would be like choosing a favourite child…they both give something different and something so contrasting in a time of reflection and a time of anticipation…

Nothing stopping you having a drink with a sunrise ;)

The sun does not rise or set

Its the earths rotation based on a fixed point in the solar system

Oh and the tide does not go in and out either

The Earth rotates through a fixed bulge of water created by the gravitational pull of the
moon, making it appear as if the water is rising and falling as we move into and out of
that bulge

Sunrise probably. When I start work early in the summer it’s nice to see.

Sunsets often give us more spectacular colour.

Sunset. I’m not a morning person. :joker:

The beach I always go to in west Wales has the best sunsets - breathtaking. Could sit here for hours in the summer (and have).
