Sunrise and sunset – both. Each brings different feelings which I think I put on to the photos after I know which one is when. Thanks for these beautiful photos

I wonder if I could tell which ones are sunrise and which sunset if I didn’t know already? I am not always sure I could… But yes, here they do have very different feelings, I think…

2nd one took my breath away – the expanse makes for perfect solitary moments, golden or otherwise – “in the wee, small hours of the morning, while the whole wide world is fast asleep”

The beach was broad and endless, indeed, and nobody was about as the sun rose…

Number 3 is turning out to be really popular,,, to my mind, the bird in it is a bit too small, but who am I to resist the popular momentum? ;-)

Great capture of light. Do you live by the beach?

No, we live in the middle of Manhattan. These photos were taken far from home. The sunrise photos were taken at Amelia Island, Georgia, and the sunset photos at Glover’s Reef Atoll, Belize.
