I definitely prefer the sunrise. There's absolutely something very magical about watching the world wake up, and the sky turning pink and orange. It seems to me like a new beginning that is full of possibilities.

Do you prefer sunrise or sunset and why?
 
For me, it's sunset all the way because I love how the sky transforms into different colors, and the world also slows down to appreciate the beauty. At sunset, It's really a time for reflection.
 
As a hobbyist photographer, I enjoy the sunsets better. You have to get the framing and composition, and of course, the location just right. Then, it's just a matter of time for the vibrant color shifts in the sky to capture the perfect moment.

However, I do sunrises at the beach as well, typically for portraits though. I'll also see the sunrise on the 1st of every year.

That's a great point, Sunsets do bring people together truly. But for me, sunrises feel more personal and there's something special about starting the day with a breathtaking view.
 
I never really get the chance to see the sunrise. I prefer sunsets since I'm fully awake to appreciate them. I'd either have to get up super early on my days off to see the sunrise, or I miss it since I can't see it at work.
 
I prefer sunsets. I have always been a sunset girl.
I don't usually see the sunrise as I am usually still sleeping or haven't yet opened my curtains.
