As a nocturnal creature, I don’t see many of those unless I’ve been up all night! 😆 When that happens (not too often), I head down to the lake – 5 minutes by car, 25 minutes on foot.

Wow! What an amazing gallery of photos! I am like you and am more nocturnal than early bird but also have lots of both. I can’t seem to resist one more picture….again and again and again! Bernie
I have to own up to the same thing you did; I’ve seen few sunrises in my life, and I have to thank going to college for most of the sunsets I’ve seen… over 40 years ago! That’s a shame, which is why my goal is to see tomorrow’s eclipse so I’ll feel like I’ve accomplished something important. 🙂
Your photos are beautiful! Definitely sunsets for me (speaking as a photographer). It seems like the late afternoon golden hour, which merges into sunset, which merges into twilight and blue hour, provides lots and lots of photo opportunies. Sunrise always seems to move faster, and once the sun is up, things go flat more quickly.
These are all such beautiful pictures, Debbie! Coming up or going down, the sun is a constant reminder of all we should never take for granted. The hope to be found in every sunrise is, in turn, reflected back in majestic shades of gratitude at the day’s end.
Those are all beautiful photos. I love taking photos of sunsets. Sunrises not so much because that means getting up earlier than I would want to. I did take some photos in the Arctic Circle during June a few years ago, but as the sun never goes below the horizon I am not sure whether you would call it a sunrise or sunset!
Thank you, Jackie! 🙂 The only time I see a sunrise is if I’ve been up all night. Doesn’t happen very often, anymore. Your Arctic Circle photos must be fabulous! Are they on your blog? I’d love to see them.
Oh these are spectacular shots Debbie! I really love the Greek Island ones as it’s somewhere I want to visit one day. A great collection for #SundayStills
Wow, Debbie, your collection of rises and sets is spectacular! I can’t pick a favorite because they are all so unique. But I’m intrigued by seeing the sunrises of the Great Lakes. Being a West Coast gal, this occurs (I was going to say rarely)…never! I could drive up to Vancouver Island and see the sunrise from Nanaimo, perhaps, if the mountains don’t block the sun. That’s so cool you have a 5-minute drive to see the sunrise on the lake. Always great to see your sunny posts and your talented lens 🙂
Thank you so much, Terri! 🙂 We get the sunrises here on Lake Ontario, but have to go elsewhere for the sunsets. Lake Huron is well known for its spectacular sunsets and I was fortunate to capture one a few years ago. The west coast has the Pacific Ocean, so you must see some amazing ones there! 🌅 I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. Thanks for providing the forum to showcase them.
Sunrises and sunsets makes no difference to me both are gorgeous and a great way to begin or end your day by seeing! You captured some fantastic shots over the years, too. Thanks for sharing an abundance of happiness!

These are awesome, the real artworks! Very beautiful video clip!
Thank you! 🙂

Thank you, Bernie! 🙂 Sun shots are irresistible, whether they be in the morning or evening.

Hi Mitch! I hope you enjoyed the eclipse. I thought it was an amazing experience – pitch dark in the middle of the afternoon. 🌑
This is stunning. Thanks so much for participating and sharing at #19 InLinkz #WordlessWednesday (Words are also welcome). See you again next week!
Thank you so much, Esmé! 🙂 I appreciate the link up opportunity and will try to keep it up. Cheers!
So stunning! No matter where on the planet we may be, the sunsets never fail to be beautiful. And sunset pics are so much fun to take!
Thank you, Damyanti! 🙂 It’s true, we can find these wonderful miracles of nature all over the world.

Thank you Peter! 🙂 You make an excellent point. Sunsets do last longer, but sunrises also enjoy a blue period, right before the sun comes up.

Thank you, diedre! 🙂 You have a wonderful way with words. 💖
Where I live, the sunrise is best to see. But if i can chose, I would prefere the sunset. Both are beautiful.
Welcome to The Den! 🙂 I see many more sunsets, but agree, they are both beautiful. Thank you for visiting.

Wonderful and beautiful photography. Nothing better than sunrises and sunsets on the water. Beautiful.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Hugs, Debbie. ♥
The water seems to magnify the beauty, doesn’t it? 😍 I’m glad you enjoyed the photos, Sandee! Thanks for providing the forum to share them. 🙂
Wow, those are all so pretty…I like the time lapse ones at the end. So fun.
Thank you so much, Kirstin! 🙂 People flock from far and wide to view that sunset at Oia.
A stunning selection of photos for the theme, Debbie. I gave always preferred the light at sunset to the brighter dawn sunrise.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thank you so much, Pete! Sunsets tend to last longer, which makes them even nicer. 🙂
Spectacular photos, Debbie. I love both sunrises and sunsets and if I had to choose, I would prefer sunsets.
Thank you Eugi. 🙂 I love them both but rarely see a sunrise.
Oh these are spectacular shots Debbie! I really love the Greek Island ones as it’s somewhere I want to visit one day. A great collection for #SundayStills
Thank you so much, Debbie! 🙂 We had a wonderful time cruising the Greek Islands. I hope you’ll get there one day.
Your photos are always spectacular Deb. But I’ll always be a sunset girl. <3
Thank you, Deb. 🙂 I like them both but see many more sunsets.
I don’t know that I have an answer for that. I enjoy both.
I agree! 🙂 You probably see way more sunrises than I do.
Like you, I seldom see a sunrise, but when I do I think it’s just as beautiful as a sunset. The colors are lovely.
Love,
Janie
Yes, they’re both wonderful. Pays to stay up all night, sometimes! 😀 Thank you, Janie. 🙂

I think both are incredibly beautiful. I love all your photos and the video is stunning!
Thanks Kymber! 🙂 The photos are all mine but I can’t take any credit for the video. That’s a Canva creation.
I love them both, but the sunsets are my favorite. It’s like a cherry on top of a wonderful day.
Have a fabulous day and week, Debbie. Hugs. ♥
I like that! 🙂 🌇🍒

I agree, both are Mother Nature’s finest moments. 🙂 Thanks for the compliment! I love photographing the sun.
That’s a lot of truly amazing sunrise and sunset photos
Thank you, Thomas. I love taking sun photos. 🙂
