6. These are beautiful photos. Thank you.

They raise a question I've often wondered about - if you didn't know when and where these pictures were snapped, could you tell just by looking at them whether they were of sunrises or sunsets? Any tips would be appreciated.

[George McGovern]

13. You're welcome TheRickles! Don't know what to tell you. Did a little research --

I copied and pasted one response found on reddit: "at a sunrise the sky tend to get lighter way before the sun even comes up. at a sunset the sky turns darker and a bit red/orange ish as the sun hits the horizon. light blue and yellow for sunrise dark blue and orange for sunset. source: i'm a night owl and experience way more frequently the transition from night to dawn and how the sky changes."

These are two photos I took some time ago. The first was taken before a sunrise with kind of streaky colors in the lightening sky:


whereas some sunsets leave a lasting glow along the horizon:


I imagine if you studied images of both phenomena you could note differences in the skies. Thank You for asking!

[TheRickles]

19. Thanks. I'm not convinced, but thanks. :-)

The cloud patterns were too different in these photos to make for a valid comparison, but the yellow/orange, sunrise/sunset difference is worth tracking.

[George McGovern]

20. Yeah, I'm not convinced either. I got into shooting worthwhile morning and evening

skies about four years and found a home for them here. We've since moved from that locale and its wide open opportunities for pleasing scenes. I appreciate your interest nonetheless.

8. Breathtaking photos, Allan!

Just curious … what are the winters like in your area, do you get much snow?

[George McGovern]

15. Thank You Diamond_Dog! We're told where we live now gets plenty of snow

and cold, cold temperatures. Before, winters weren't so bad and tolerable.
We'll see what happens here.
