A Perfect Circle

I rarely get up soon enough to photograph a sunrise. Are they more beautiful than a sunset? I'm not sure as I just can't seem to get out there to shoot one. I have seen some beautiful sunrise photos however.
This was an amazing sunset, I was fishing, you can see two fishing poles in the shot. I supposed I could edit out those fishing poles but have decided to leave them in. I like this shot not for the color, it wasn't that spectacular, but the actual sun making a perfect circle was pretty darn cool. Please enlarge the picture to get a really good look.

@Kboy26 i love photography, I am just a retired housewife having fun with my camera. Actually I really love photography and have 3 cameras, which all do something better than the other cameras I have.

@fishtiger58 I would like to start a landscape photography business. My camera is acting funny, and I have to get it fix. I have a passion for taking pictures of beautiful places.

Sunrises can be just as beautiful as sunset. I love when the sky is orange and pink together so pretty. I'm never up to capture the moments either

What a wonderful shot fish.
I love the fishing poles in the photo.
I see the perfect circle of the sun, so soothing.
Did you catch much that day?

I think we caught a few, but you know what they say, if you don't fish you don't catch. Thanks

@sofssu No doubt about that, fishing affords me plenty of opportunity.

Right now I am still getting up before sunrise. We don't get a great view of the sunrises, but I am sure they end up looking pretty much the same. It all depends on what else is around and the clouds.
That is a great photo, including the colour.

@fishtiger58 I would just have to walk to the back of our yard, but my coffee is more inviting first thing in the morning.

I would have to be out of town to get the sunrise, buildings block my view. Thanks so much.

Cool picture, how long ago was this taken? I don't get many sunrise shots either. Mostly because of the way our street is facing and all the trees and houses in the way. The only time I get to enjoy sunrises is on the way home after working a midnight shift. While driving it's not the best time to snap a picture. My dumb phone won't do it justice and I don't carry my camera around with me.
