Both sunset and sunrise give similar feelings to the world of someone experiencing those moments. Today when I sit out to see the sunsetting, it makes me wonder when the world first experienced the first sunset and the first sunrise? What comes to your mind when you have the full view of sunset?

When I see a sunset I see magic in the sky. It fills my mind with wonder as the sky changes from blue to a deep purple, yellow and orange. I think it is a bit exciting waiting for the moment the sun will go down. When I see a sunrise I feel like the day is just starting up. When I was at the top of a Mayan Temple at Tikal in Guatemala I saw a fantastic sunrise. There was the reward of seeing it after going through the dark jungle with a torch and using the energy going up the steep steps. All the animals were waking up. They were making some noises like howling. I think this was monkeys. The colour of the sky changed in dramtic form adding great atmosphere to the experience. I think I feel both sunset and sunrise is calming and quite delightful.
