Sunrise or Sunset?

Philippines
December 6, 2010 6:55pm CST
When you are in the beach, sometimes the sunrise and sunset are so perfectly captured, so beautiful creation by God however, if you have to compare the two, what is the most perfect setting for you, the sunset or the sunrise? For me, I would choose the Sunset, colors seem to appear in this incredible creation and I love watching the sun sets and disappear, somehow, you realized that there is another tomorrow, it's as if sorrows would soon be over after seeing it, so dramatic... What about you?

I love both. Sunrise brings out a new hope and a bright day. It also allows me to feel how God loves us so much that He gave us the sun that we all know has so many advantage for all of us living things plus the fact that sunrise is also so nice not just for our eyesight but for our sense of touch. I love the feeling of early sunrise on my skin especially when im in the sea shore just waiting for this to touch my whole being immedietly makes me feel close to nature and brought me healing effect as well when im having cough and colds. Sunset however, brings out so much romantic moods, it creates a unique mood for all of those who could witness its beauty. I do love to watch sunset with my husband and daughter for it allows us to be closer to one another. When I was a kid, me and my cousins always watched it. We always treated it as watching a beautiful movie. I will never ever forget how we witnessed this beautiful creation of God with so much admiration and happiness all this years. Have a nice day ahead!

Most people would be up at sunset. It's easy to watch the sunset at the end of the day. But very few people would get up early enough to witness the beautiful sunrise. I enjoy both sunsets and sunrise, but I prefer the sunrise. I remember those moments when I was at the beach with friends or family. It's fun to witness the sun peep out of the horizon, with the light turning from dark to light. You can see the sky change colors as the sun rises, until we see the clear blue sky. I love this.

Both settings were both nice to watch along seashore. But I usually prefer the sunset. I don't know but sunset somehow brings a great feeling for me. It's like setting my mind into rest from a tiring day. But if I'm able to see the sunrise, it's also good to feel the morning breeze turning into the heat of rising sun also brings new energy.

Sunrise. I had always been thrilled by the breaking of dawn. I become ecstatic when I see the first rays flash through the air and zoom to touch everything around. And in an instant, everything becomes bright and shiny and happy and wonderful. With sunset, no matter the beauty, there is a certain melancholy that makes me sad.

will for me, it's sunset coz it has long time because it going to night while sunrise is going to hot morning. another thing is that i hate waking up early just to see the sunrise because there are many things to do in the morning while in the after i can get rest so i have time to watch the sunset.

Both cases are definitely wonderful to see. Each of them brings us different reasons to celebrate life. The sunrise for a new day and new accomplishments and the sunset to relax our mind so as to give us strength for another day. That is the way I see both. But between the two, I choose the sunset. Somehow, I find it more beautiful and appealing. Besides, watching the sunset for me is more of a relaxation knowing that I do not have work anymore at such time, so I can just sit and relax til the night time comes...

Beholding the beauty of the sun - Nature and its beauty right before our eyes.
The beaches are where we could find beautiful views of sunrise and sunset. I think both are beautiful in their own right. I could not really choose between the two because they do have their own peculiar beauty and both are irresistible in my eyes. All I could do is just to view and enjoy the beauty of the sun whether when it rises or when it sets. Most of all as I behold the beauty of both these natural occurrences I also do behold the greatness of God who made all these things possible.

hello frenzylady! i live near the beach but i seldom have time on mornings to go and watch the sunrise. However, sometimes after work, i love to go to the beach and watch sunset on good weather. i love sunrise because it signifies a new beginning, a new hope and a fresh start. It feels good just basking in the rays of a new sunrise. Sunset on the other hand is something which never fails to awe me, with all its beauty and glory. no two sunsets are ever alike, depending on the positions of clouds and the weather itself. Sunset reminds me that our days here on earth are limited and sooner or later, we would soon set...retire from this world. it also inspires me to do better than the day before.

Hi frenz, Our town faces seaward on the west and sunrise always comes up from the mountaintops on the east. The scenery always remind me lines from the song "Jamaica Farewell" as I sit down by the sandy shores at sunset: "Down the way when nights are gay and the sun shines daily on the mountaintops" It is always sunset that I see since I am not a morning person, I am a night owl actually.

What a wonderful question you have there frenzylady! Honestly speaking, I love both sunrise and sunset:) But for me the best of the two is the Sunrise. Because its a sign that a new WONDERFUL day is coming again:) And for the Sunset, It just give you a sign that a wonderful day will end. and after the sunset darkness will appear[NIGHT] While on SUNRISE. When it comes out it gives light which gave you a nice feeling:)

I like sunset more. I don't know why but when the sun sets, the sky exudes a more beautiful presence and has a more attractive display of the orange hues, making it a perfect setting for lovebirds. I feel that sunsets are the most relaxing moments and the most romantic moments ever.

Sunsets are indeed beautiful to look at. there are so many beautiful colors portrayed. Sunrises have to be looked at differently. They are the beginnings of a new day. they can inspire hope.

I love both, Sunrise means a new life, day, chance to accomplish the things we need to, a new gift from God he let us live again, Sunset is also good it makes you feel you need to take some rest from all the troubles you've experienced throughout the day. It's dramatic colors that makes you feel how it feels to love and to be loved.

I have always loved the sunset. It tells me that the day has finally finished and I am so thankful that I have built another limestone in my life. When something ends, there will always be a new start. When the sun sets, I feel that a day has passed and must rest to prepare for another battle the next day.
