I think it should be sunset....cause it is very HOT!!!!!! Usually early in the morning when the sun rises, the sun will look warmer! haha......by the way, there are no blue sky in the picture......hehe...therefore, I think it should be taken during sunset...am I right, Red????

My reasoning was that at sunset the air is warmer than at sunrise, and there didn't seem to be much air disturbance.

Oggie!!! Do you have any pictures of the Nigara Falls????? This giant waterfall really amazed me!!!!!

Ok now, the moment of truth! it's a...................sunset picture.

Ah.....u guys has reminded me a picture that was taken by famous photographer Ansel Adams with a large format view camera. The title is "Moonrise Hernandez". U can see the magic of B/W photography! Really Cool!
So, what do u guys think this time? A day time pic or a night time pic?

elwin81, do you mind me taking a guess this time??..hehe..

ok, 1st and 2nd ones are sunset and the 3rd one is sunrise...clue:color of sky..hehe

**tracyleesy** · 11-17-2006, 10:56 AM

Yes!! Absolutely agree with ctjcad!! Especially the third pic!! I'm 100% sure that it was taken early in the morning during sunrise!! haha......cause those street lamps are still on! Besides...all the houses do not switch on any light, it seems that they are still sleeping early in the morning...... am I right? Elwin??

Haha..... though the picture is in black and white....I think it is a daytime picture!!! Though the picture look like night time, most probably I think the answer will be contradictory with the color of the picture....hence, this time I choose day time!!!!!

..hehehe, it's a tough one...But i've found a website : http://www.eots.co.uk/Sunset/Page1/Sunsets1.html (Page 6 for sunrise and Page 4 for sunset)..

showing similar pics..And the only person who'll know if they're sunset or sunrise, is you..

**red00ecstrat** · 11-17-2006, 05:32 PM

Alright, my turn now!

Pic #1 sunrise.
Pic #2 sunset.
Pic #3 sunrise.

**Oggie** · 11-17-2006, 07:19 PM

Sunset: Pic #1 & 2 because the sun seems to follow the equinox path
Sunrise: Pic # 3 because the sun seems to be at the back of the person taking the photo. just my thought.

**ctjcad** · 11-18-2006, 01:46 AM

...what's the wait, let's hear the answer(s)...Prove *us* all wrong,

, well, at least prove *me* all wrong..hehehe

...looking at the 1st and 2nd pics, look like they were taken from roughly the same view(noticed the tower on the right side). While the 3rd pic has a totally different view.
So, it's either the 1st and 2nd pics are sunrises(western view) or they're sunsets(eastern view). And the 3rd pic is either sunrise(western view) or sunset(eastern view). If that's the case, then red00ecstrat's guess is off, because pic #1 can't be conflicting pic#2

. But we don't know which one is east or west, though.
However, my guess will still stay as is, with that sky color, the 3rd pic was taken looking to the westerly direction whilst the 1st & 2nd pics were taken looking into an easterly direction...
