Silhouette: Sunrise vs Sunset

Can you tell just by looking at an image if it’s a sunrise or a sunset? Do you need to see the setting to know, and judge by the activity, or can you just sense it by the color?

I wonder. Personally I know I much prefer to witness a sunrise than a sunset. Maybe it’s because I’m a glass half-full kind of person, and a sunrise screams new beginnings.

I’m a fan of silhouette pictures, I just can’t seem to get enough of them. It’s like a French movie, the focus is on the emotion, rather than the action. If that makes any sense…

  3. Sunset! If for no other reason than it signifies the end of the workday & having to act like a “grown-up”.
