Thanks for the kind words!
I like your thinking... "rarity + beauty" makes total sense as reasons to be fascinated. And yes, they are forever different. After taking those photos, I checked my "sunsets" photo folder and there's 300+ images in there, so clearly I am fascinated with this phenomenon.
We just don't "do" mornings. Besides, we've got mountains and ocean (as you saw) on the sunset side... a big hill and trees on the sunrise side; we don't even SEE the sun till 10:00-ish.
Appreciate the comment!
I don't do mornings either haha! So it's rare for me to see a sunrise. But if the mountains play in your favor anyways, stick with the sunsets!
Keep shooting! I'll look for more great sunsets on your blog in the future :)
