watching the sun rise over the horizon

I love both sweetie. But i must admit, the sunset is beautiful to watch each day. Nice pic. TATA.

Hi bluemoon! I think your description of both the sunrise and sunset were perfect! Those are the two most beautiful times of the day and I am happy that I have seen both many times. But, the best sunrises and sunsets I have ever seen were at the beaches. There is nothing more incredible to me than to be at the beach at either time of day with the water crashing against the rocks against the sand! I am also a "moon watcher" too. I have an affinity for the moon and stars. I love to see a full moon in a clear sky in the Summer or in the Winter after a nice clean snowfall!

To me, both hold the promise as a rainbow that everything is as it should be. When it's time for you to sleep, it's also time for someone else to wake up and take care of the things.

I think both are beautiful, and I don't really feel depressed at sunset. I'm likely to be tired at sunrise though. Not a morning person...

I agree with you completely. I love watching the sunrise and it makes me so happy. I also love to watch sunsets but it gives me a bittersweet feeling.

Hello bluemoonpavilion, Well, actually i have never thought like that about sunsets, but they are beautiful too. Most of us are lazy to get up early in the morning to watch a sunrise. Evening is one the best times you could have a walk with your partner and see the sun set. There would be nothing else you would want to think of. What comes, has to go one day.

hi yes I love to watch the sunrise and get that wonderful feeling of'a new day a gift to open unused and anything good could happen,.but to really appreciate a California sunset you should be on the beach and watch the sunset slide down behind the waves its so gorgeous and just awesome to watch. I like sunsets as it means its time now to relax and dump all worries and stress as a new day will come.

I love sunset! Well because I'll be able to see the moon and the stars again. I love it when dark comes. Also it's colder when night comes. I have watched a sunrise before. At a beach. I think it's really nice and lovely. Also before August ends, I spend the night with my friends. And we actually saw the sunrise. What's nice about it is that we we're able to see the sun as it rises, and the moon is still visible. We also saw how the sky changes it's colors and how the sky was in half. Light and dark at the same time. It's really nice! ^_^

I think I am not sentimental people as others. It is really good to see sunrise and sunset but for there is not big deal have a great day!

Hiya bluemoon, Oh no the Sunset for me is marvelous most of the times even if I am in a bad mood or feeling sad. A beautiful Sunset can reconcile me with the World I can tell you. Sunrise well before I used to be up at that time of the Morning lots of times but now I sleep a little extra as I think I have earned it too. I often take Photos of Sunsets. Sunrises are beautiful if you are traveling and you have more chance to notice it. More than seeing the Sunrise I like to hear it the Birds start to come to life their chirping, the blackbird singing on the Rooftops. I find that so beautiful. Of course I don´t notice all this every Day of the Week. I like the two of them Sunset and Sunrise but the Sunset gives off the most beautiful colours.

...Hi there bluemoon, Sunrises and sunsets are some of the most beautiful scenes of nature ever in my opinion. The different colors that are in the sky, very spectacular. If you happen to be near water they are even more colorful and lovely to watch. I don't find sunsets depressing because I look at the colors and enjoy the beauty of the sky and all its splendor. The moon fascinates me as well, the light that shines from it, it looks like a plate of translucent glass. What a world we live in with nature's glory. Interesting discussion. Take care.

Sunrise is the feeling of beginning the journey while Sunset is the end of the day

Hi bluemoon, i too have similar feelings, all salute a rising sun but very few salute a setting sun, this has deep inner meaning lol.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always friend, cheers. Professor. .

Sunrise pretty much means the start of a new beginning. telling us that there's nothing we can do but keep moving forward and that we have yet another day to live and be happy about. Sunset on the other hand as you said means the end. but sunsets have its own beauty as well, it somehow tells us that after a day's work is the time to relax and gives rise for the moon to show its beauty. somehow sunsets gives off a reflective feeling while sunrises just gives you energy.

Hi bluemoonpavilion, In some ways a day can be compared to one's lifetime. I agree with you that watching a sunrise is much more exciting than a sunset, although both has it's beauty. The beginning of a new day should fill us with joy as each day can be a new beginning for all of us. Noon brings us the strength of youth and as the day progresses into evening it's strength decreases. Sunset can be seen as the end of one's life and can bring depressing thoughts but it also has a feeling of peacefulness and the knowledge that the sun will rise again in the morning. Blessings.

There is just something about watching the sun rise. the sun rising is the beginning of a new day. there is so much promise each new day can bring. Watching the sunset is spectacular too. You slowly watch day lose its light and watch as darkness falls upon the sky. it is the in between time that holds so much magic as the sky goes through change.

Love the way you showed these opposites. On the other hand I love to watch both actually. It's the beautiful transition that comes with an explosion of a myriad of colors. And they only happen during these two wonderful times, sunrise and sunset. Somehow there is magic in them.

Hi, bluemoonpavilion! Have you seen sunrise and sunset many times? So lucky for you to see these wonderful scenery! I envy you. My hometown is rounded by hills, so I don't have chance to see the sun rising over the horizon. This summer I went to the Mount Huang, where is said to have the most beautiful in China. But unfortunately that day was foggy and cloudy so I didn't seen anything.

Color has meaning and affects our emotions. Like read for hot and warm symbolizing love or bravery. Blue for coolness and neutral. Watching sunset and sunrise gives me the enjoyment of seeing color mixing from bright light to dark. From dark to bright. It's gradual changes and the color mixing involve in the sky somehow remind me of life. Of human struggles against evil and the hope of a bright future a head.

I have similar sentiments with you . sunrise is beautiful,and it fullfill with hope.I have ever seen a sunrise,hundreds of people are waiting ,when the first ray sprayed,every people exited ,cried. sunset is also very beautiful,with some feeling of sadness. I prefer sunrise to sunset.
