Most of us were taught we have five senses. In reality, we also have senses that help us read our body, movement, and internal state. Sunrise and sunset are perfect moments to practise them, because the world slows down enough for you to feel what is usually drowned out.

Perhaps rather blunt, but sunrise and sunset photography centre around the appearance or disappearance of an immensely bright splodge of light, either appearing over the horizon or sinking below the horizon. There's nothing unusual about this, happens every day, has been for a few years now, and God-willing, will continue to. Photographically it's pretty boring, and it needs a number of add-ons to give it interest, certainly if you want to print it for others to enjoy.
