07/02/2012 04:29PM    If you can't tell, I love sunrises. Though I have tons of pictures of sunsets as well. |

07/02/2012 03:57PM Sunrise. It's the dawn of a new day. A new day of exploring, traveling, fishing, lounging and all that good jazz. Sunset just means the day is over and all I have to look forward to is a couple evening drinks and starwatching and lighted bobber fishing. But Sunsets are more spectacular. |

07/02/2012 02:47PM Sunsets are beautiful but I prefer Sunrise. Sunsets can be hectic getting chores done while sunrise is quiet, calm, and peaceful. |

07/02/2012 12:00PM I don't know that I could say one or the other is my "favorite," but I do really treasure sunrises, especially in midsummer between 4:00 and 5:00 in the morning. |

07/02/2012 11:00AM No favorites, but I’m beginning to better appreciate every sunrise I get to see, now that I’m getting older. |

07/02/2012 06:23AM Love 'em both. Won't make a choice. Moon rise with a full moon is great too. |

07/01/2012 11:48PM What is this sunrise thing you are referring to? Not familiar with those. Sunsets, now those are beautiful and I look forward to each one. |

07/01/2012 11:42PM Got up at 5am the other day on Vera Lake and still missed it. So sunset for me. |

07/01/2012 09:04PM Sunrise. It's the best time of the entire day...and many people sleep right through it. How sad is that? :) |

07/01/2012 08:59PM Sun rise here. Just because it is so elusive to me |
| nofish |
07/01/2012 08:55PM I have to go with sunset. Here is the sunset on Winchell last August. This was from the site on the small peninsula just to the east of the bay that leads to the Omega Portage.

07/01/2012 07:03PM Gonna say sunset. Because after that the stars come out and hopefully Northern Lights.  I think this is a planet though. Thomas Lake |

07/01/2012 03:17PM On canoe trips, definitely sunset. But anyone who knows me knows that I am not an early riser, so that is all I see. However, when I am at work, I usually see both. Sunset when I'm at work, sunrise when I'm on my way home to get some sleep. The sky can be so beautiful to see as I drive home, a nice "end" to my day. |

07/01/2012 12:37PM I like both but I find that I enjoy more sunsets. In the evening I'm relaxing in camp and can take it all in. In the morning I'm busy with breakfast and breaking camp. I might notice, even snap a photo but I don't sit there and watch it happen When I do base camp and am not trying to get on my way, I'm usually up too late to enjoy the sunrise. |

07/01/2012 12:08PM Love em both, but if I had to choose one it would be sunset. |

07/01/2012 11:43AM Sunrise. That's usually the time I have the lake and the campsite all to myself. |

07/01/2012 09:31AM I would have to say sunrise. Sunsets are easy. It takes effort to make the sunrise. But both can make great pictures.

07/01/2012 08:49AM Sunset is my favorite. Time to reflect on the great day that just past. Sunrise is a close second because of the anticipation of what's to come. Upon further reflection........they are both great as long as I'm outdoors somewhere. |

07/01/2012 08:27AM Rise, but both are gifts to enjoy. Moonrise is my favorite, though. |

On a canoe trip I am often up at first light so that I am sitting with my coffee waiting for the sun to make an appearance. It is those few minutes before you see the sun that the world is the most beautiful. I could not have said it better myself. Sunrise for sure! It think it is the best part of the day! |

07/01/2012 06:27AM rise-start of another day! |
| Goldenbadger |
07/01/2012 06:21AM Though I love both, I'm definitely a sunrise girl. Dawn is my favorite time of day. as soon as the sky starts to lighten and the birds are singing, I'm awake. It's so peaceful and beautiful at that time of day. And the fishing is usually awesome in the morning. There's nothing better than sitting at a campsite greeting the sun with a fresh cup of coffee. I always get impatient waiting for everyone else to wake up. |

07/01/2012 06:11AM I'm usually up looking for a decent sunrise and have seen plenty but... I prefer the end of day.
