(cue the song from Fiddler on the Roof)
I have posted a number of sunrise or dawn shots from my balcony, but I don't often get much color from the sunsets since I face east. Thought I'd share these two, because I was struck by the similarity in the pastel palettes, with the sunset shot offering a more gentle feeling in the softer tones at the end of the day.

(32,002 posts)Maybe it's just me, but I would have thought the opposite of which one was sunrise and which one was sunset, if you hadn't labeled them! Weird, huh!

The sunset shot is looking northeast. I can't see west from my apartment. But I've found that often when in an open area looking at either a sunrise or sunset, if you turn around and look the opposite direction, you'll see softer shades of color in the sky than where the sun is rising or setting.
