Sunset in Hyde Park on Saturday with some particularly interesting cloud structures.
My brother put a near identical picture up on his instagram account at weekend, taken from Dorking in Surrey. It felt really sppoky seeing your version of it. I suspect his was taken a little later, as it is slightly darker though.Both.
I live on the North East coast of England and have a home on the South West Coast of Scotland.
Sunrise is special especially in the summer, early morning 4, 5 AM, first person on the beach, a new day.
Sunset in Scotland is easier to be around for. Watching the last rays of the day as the sun sinks behind the hills over the bay.
Sunset was great when I lived in Turkish Cyprus. So quick, as the man in the mosque in the village below the house called the faithful to prayer, his song echoing off the Crags of the Kyrenia mountains above us. Brandy sour in hand, it would be dark before the glass was drained as the cooling pine scented land wind pushed the remnants of the day over the western horizon.

I wish I lived somewhere with easy access to both.
Now I just have to get up early for good sunrises.

I live next to the sea on the east coast, I do like seeing the sunrise. My house looks out over the sea.
Though to be honest I prefer it when there is a full moon as the reflection on the sea looks really cool.
Me too, our sunlounge overlooks the sea and sitting there with the blinds open on a clear night with a full moon - and a glass or two of wine, is really nice.Though to be honest I prefer it when there is a full moon as the reflection on the sea looks really cool.
The thought of sunrises remind me of being away with my dad in the lorry as a kid & flagging down milkmen on their rounds for a cold pint of milk.
Living in Cornwall most journeys home mean heading for the sunset.
Anyway, Cornish Sunset whilst out on the bike last year, crappy phone pic:

Sitting in a pub garden with friends, then it has to be sunset. However, if I'm out hunting, then it has to be sunrise. There is no better feeling seeing the sun rise, the world awake, and in autumn, the over night dew rise and form a faint mist, and lets not forget the smell.
Any deer stalkers amongst us will know exactly what I mean.

There is a picture in my mind now............. Thank You.

No photos but it takes me back to the very early mornings in November in the misty forests of Sweet Lamb in Wales for the, as it was Lombard RAC Rally.
Pitch black dark, yomping up sheep tracks, with the feeble light from torches, getting a good spot to watch the soon to begin action.
Others doing the same, lighting pinewood fires, down in the valley below us, the smell alone from the fires making you feel warmer. As the first beads of sunlight pour over the surrounding hillsides, combined with the throaty roar of the first Rally cars, powering up the slopes, headlights and spot lights raking across the landscape, slowly turning the grey shadows to full colour autumnal splendour.... Then Russell Brookes rolls his Opel Manta into the ditch in front of us!!
I live on the East Coast so sunrises are the most dramatic;

You can still get nice sunsets on the coast, you just don't get the vividness of shooting into the sun.
