ejala Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Hard to say. Sunrise has some negatives since anymore it usually is seen if I've stayed up too late. But I've also worked third shift, so it used to mean I could go home. Sunset has positive memories of wandering around Reykjavik between 9pm-1am at the end of July where the light was like the sun had just set. The first night I wandered alone. Next evening three more people had checked into the little basement hostel and I showed them around while we looked for any restaurant that was still open. I'd shared my bunch of grapes with the new girl when she got in starving, she paid me back by springing for a meal when we finally found a chippery open. Next day we all left, and I showed everyone the way I had walked from the airport shuttle since I was mostly broke after 7 weeks in Europe and hadn't been able to afford a taxi. The walk back was a lovely, clear 70°. My walk from had been 40° in the sleet. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer sunsets, but it is an irony of my life that I see more sunrises due to either shift work or a whacked out sleep schedule. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunset, because you can see the stars a while after, and it means the giant angry fireball in the sky stops zorching my eyes... 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really have a preference; both can be spectacular, and both can make me wish I could get around without eyes. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm seeing a sunrise it means I have a long day ahead of me. Well except in the winter. Sunset usually means it's time to relax. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not had them, quizitor dear/our plants did not fruit well this year. I would so try them on a dare/But I cannot find them anywhere! (I hope you thought of Green Eggs and Ham, too.) 7 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 5 October 2022: Which do you like better, Sunrise or Sunset? I'm generally an evening girl, so sunsets. But if I lived in the North, it would be sunrise. They have a big festival in many northern communitites to honour the first sunrise of the year, at like 2 in the afternoon. That would be pretty neat to attend. If I could one day, I'd bring fireworks. I wonder how many Inuit have seen them live? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunrise happens while I'm at work and I don't normally see the sunset, so I can't claim to have a preference. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I've ever had green tomatoes in any way. Love nice ripe red tomatoes fresh off the vine though... 8 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 5 October 2022: Which do you like better, Sunrise or Sunset? Something very soothing about watching the sun creep up over the horizon and the mild anticipation you feel with either. The colors you often get at the end of the day would make me lean every so slightly to sunset. With either, add a nice body of water in front to really add to the spectacle, and you can't go wrong. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawhat Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 10 hours ago, Corsair said: Quizzle for 5 October 2022: Which do you like better, Sunrise or Sunset? I do not generally care for sunrises as it generally means one of two things: I'm about to be blinded on my way into work (the sun shines directly into my path four times a year for a couple weeks each), or I've stayed up wa-ay too late. Sunsets are "ok" although I generally don't observe them. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked graveyard shift, I would time my cigarette break to allow me to be outside when the sun rose, It is a wonderfully peaceful time of the day. That said, I do love subsets just not quite as dearly. Edited October 6, 2022 by malefactus 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not. The only traversable dunes are in the southwest corner in the province, there are also dunes in the far, far northwest corners, but that are in a national park and are specifically protected (there are plants there that grow nowhere else on Earth). 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
