    Sunset.
    Cause I'm usually awake, the sun rises way earlier than I do.

    Opps. I guess I should state mine,

    Sunrise, because it can make my mood for the whole day...

    Sunsets and only because I've seen more of them than sunrises. When the sun shines through clouds just right the colors are almost indescribable.

    Sunsets because then I feel accomplished for getting through the day.

    Both -
    I enjoy both pretty much ever day.
    If I had to choose, I would go reluctantly with sunset as I would be able to share that with a much larger group of people as there are not nearly as many early risers in this world.

    Sunrise, because everyone else is still in bed so it's nice and quiet. :)

    Sunrise. Sunsets always depress me for some reason.

    That is a tough question. I love a sunrise because you feel optimistic about the coming day. Its cool on your skin and where I live the sun rises over the lake.
    I love sunset because its warm on your skin, I am hopefully content about what I have accomplished for the day. I love the colours of a sunset, red, orange, purple, to black. I usually sit on my front porch and watch the sun disappear behind the houses and then the sky lights up with my favourite colours. Sigh...the beauty

    It depends on the day. When I get the chance to see a great sunrise, it can turn my whole day around. However, I love seeing a beautiful sunset at night too - it can turn the worst of days into a peaceful beautiful one. I have seen more sunsets than sunrises, as I tend to catch the sunsets going out over the lake where I live more than I see the sunrises.

    Hands down sunrise. I am up 4:30 am and on my walk before sunrise. I love to witness morning arriving each and every day. There is a peacefulness about it. There is no better way to start the day,

    Sunrise...because I live on the east coast and can watch it over the Atlantic.

    Sunset...because I live on the West coast and can watch it sink into the Pacific...priceless..and also because at sunrise i'm usually stuck in my garage doing P90x3 before heading into work...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    No preference. I am both a morning and night person. I have TONS of pictures of both as AZ is one of the best places for them. Here are a few from the last month:

    Sunset this last Monday Night.

    Sunrise because my favorite beach is on the Atlantic coast. Sunset is pretty close behind though because my second favorite beach is on the Gulf coast.

    Sunrise -- I grew up surfing. Nothing is more beautiful than the dawning of a new day.

    Sunrise when they light up the Borrego Mts. in the desert.

    Sunset when it lights up a big thunderhead or I see a Green Flash

    Mid day and sunset.
    I try to get in two workouts a day if possible.
    But I find at the end of a busy workday, a nice long exercise walk helps me to unwind and be calm for the rest of the evening. Also helps me to sleep better.

    Sunset. I live on the beach on the west coast of Australia. I get to watch the sun set on the ocean every evening. The sunsets are so incredibly beautiful and never the same.

    No way I can pick. The calm beauty of early morning. I love hearing the robins singing so early in the morning. They are sing late into the night as well, those party animals.

    But a sunset here in northern California where I live takes my breath away most days. So, I can't pick one I like better.

    I prefer sunrise cause it's full of promise and everything seems possible....sunsets make me feel sad for the things I didn't accomplish.
