Hi guys! We have beautiful scenes everywhere and two of my most favorite are the sunrise and sunset. Some people like the sunrise more than the sunset or vice versa. Most people would love the sunset because it is more romantic especially when watch at the beach. I have a hard time choosing which one because both of them reminds me of something very nice. They both remind me of God's love for us by giving us another day to love other people and serve them, to enjoy life once more,to be a better person, while sunset reminds us that we need rest from our hard work and toil, to have time with our family when we go home. For me I am in love with both of them because they are very essential for every human being. How about you? :))

I also love these two beautiful scenes in our everyday life.I like to see the sun rise in the morning, start the day and see how sun brighten up and lighten our world. I like to see the sunset too even though this signifies that the day will end but somehow it show that another wonderful and blessed day was going to end and another day will come tomorrow that will showcase new life for us.

Sunrises and sunsets are both beautiful in their own way, however I enjoy sunsets more. They tend to offer some very spledid colors, plus I live on the West coast of Florida and it is incredible to watch the sunset over the water. When I was younger we had a place that looked East over the water and I did enjoy watching the sunrise over the water, so I can see either way on this topic.

Well both of them are indeed great scenes to watch. But if I am asked as to what do I prefer more, I go for sunset. I find it more relaxing perhaps simply because its means the day has ended and we can relax and enjoy... perhaps sitting in the sand along the beach.. The sunrise is a symbol of a new day, but often it is quite a sacrifice to wake up early just to see the sunrise. Perhaps the effort can simply take away the excitement knowing that most of us, usually wakes up at around 6 or 7 am.

Hi! I agree with you sir and sometimes people complain of waking up early in the morning. Oh well, lets just think that we are blessed to be able to have a new day because some people die in sleep. Both are very amazing scenes to watch and both have different significance for each one of us.:))

I can find a great view in both a sunrise and a sunet. a beautiful sunrise is a great way to greet the coming day. a miraculous sunset hovering over what is left of the night is also a vision to behold. they both have some tremendous benefits.

The romantic nature in me would choose sunset more than sunrise. Because watching sunset especially with your sweetheart or special someone for me is very sweet and romantic scene. It is a solemn reality that for every person's life there is always sunset waiting at the end of one's life. But for two lovers, sunset is not the end, in fact it leaves the feeling of hope for the coming of another day. Sunset is just a welcome start to a peaceful quiet evening of sweet repose...On the other hand, if only I can wake up that early, I'm sure I will love watching sunrise with my special someone, at the porch of our house...Both sunrise and sunset are beautiful to watch...

hello my friend eljayo!
I love this topic that you have posted my friend. :-) I love sunrise because for me it symbolizes hope for the day but I love sunset even more because for me it symbolizes rest after a whole tiring day. I love to hear a biblical proverb which is " My soul finds rest in God alone". In my life now, I usually feel tired after my duty in the hospital but because I work for God, He will never fail to carry my burden and give me rest and I think sunset symbolizes it.

Hi my friend greninee!!!:)) I am inspired by your thoughts and truly every person has different opinions. I think we both love them because they are very symbolic although sunrise is not often observed because most people wake up late. Find rest in God my friend and you will be satisfied.God bless.:))

For me, sunset with the golden evening is very romantic moment. And sunrise with the blue sky, and the shine on the leaves, with the fresh air, is very exciting, so passionate. I like the romantic sunset, and I like sunrise in the sunny days as well:)

I think I like to watch the sunrise best. There's something indescribable about sitting in the dark, waiting, then suddenly, the sun comes up, and the whole world is flooded with light. It's as though the sun chases the shadows away. And with sunrise comes the promise of a new day filled with new adventures and unknowns.

It is a pity that I haven't seen sunrise or sunset either before. It must be wonderful and peaceful. Seeing sunrise or sunset, such situation is so magic.

I myself love the sunrise better because it lets me know I have been blessed with another beautiful day. I can look at the sunrise and feel the rays upon my face and know that I have been given another day to be here with my family and friends. And I can look forward to the day ahead whether I have plans for fun or just to do everyday things that we all take for granted everyday. We should be grateful for being given another day and grateful that we have eyes in order to see such a beautiful thing in nature.
