Poll: Do you often watch the sunrise?

When I worked at the distribution center, I got off work at 6 am. I absolutely loved watching the sun rise. Tuesday morning sunrises were especially delicious, as they meant I was done for the week.

I don't remember the last time I watched the sun come up. I really do love that time of morning, though...it starts off so quiet, with that bit of chill in the air, and then the world starts waking up, and everything feels fresh and hopeful. I'm not awake that early much anymore, but when I am, it feels like a special treat. (well, it feels like that after I've had some coffee, anyway )

 

I live on the west side of an 8600' mountain pass. I'd have to drive to see a sunrise, though I can watch sunsets over the continental divide and TV at the same time from my living room.

I'm generally up early enough to catch a sunrise, though it's just a glow through the trees with a hill in the way.

 

I used to be a night owl and enjoyed sleeping past 10am. But i don't think I could stay in bed that long anymore.
I started naturally waking up earlier and going to bed earlier, and then we got a puppy.
A great dane puppy. In a small yard. Did i mention we live in the tropics? It's too hot to walk her in the afternoon so we started walking each morning at 5am.
This was a great idea a few months ago but now winter is coming and it's dark until 5:30ish.

So getting to my point,
I see the sunrise whenever i walk my dog. Which is usually 3-4 times a week between mon-fri. Weekends are for the beach.

 

I am often up before dawn (almost daily) but I can't see the horizon, so I don't get to see the actual sunrise.

Like Taliesin, it's a lot cooler in the early hours, so if I am riding my bike, or going for a run, I much prefer to be doing so in the pre-dawn hours.

 

6 days out of the week I am a week before the sun comes up. On the one day that I do not have to work a lot of times I am a week before it comes up anyway. My favorite thing to do when I am home is just sit on the front porch and watch it rise. When I am at work a lot of times I am able to see it when I'm just chilling and drinking coffee

It's a wonderful sight

Since my job requires me to up before the dawn, I tend to be around when the sun rises. (But I like both sunrises and sunsets.)

Also, this thread needs a pic:


The view from work,

 

In the winter, sunrise is at 9:30, 10:00, so I get to watch it from my desk at work.

 

Normally once a week. I work away from home most of the week and stay away, so the day I travel up I normally see the sun come up. Sometimes I go night fishing and stay at it till dawn... that's a bit more romantic than seeing daybreak driving passed some motorways services...

 

Sunrises are gorgeous, don't see enough of them. The place I see the most of them is at our Ontario cottage though the early-morning fog and surrounding highlands mean that I see the patterns of light more than the actual sun itself. I see sunsets all the time here in Arizona. They too, are spectacular.

 

I don't exactly watch the sunrise, but see them Monday through Friday because I'm up with MW at 4:50am, she leaves at around 5:30.

 

I'm up 6 days a week before Sunrise, however enjoying it is seldom.

 

I wish I was the sort of person who routinely woke up early enough to watch the sun rise. Instead, I'm the sort of person who, without planning to do so, routinely sees the sun come up before actually going to bed.
