The best sunrise colors are often seen before the sun actually rises.
Sunrise is a beautiful and awe-inspiring time of day that can often be enjoyed in its most vibrant colors before the sun, itself, even rises. As the sky slowly transitions from night into day, it’s possible to witness some of nature’s best work through the hues of pink, orange and yellow that fill the horizon. You really should witness sunrise at the Indian River bridge for yourself.
Many people make it a point to get up early just to take in all the beauty and wonder that comes with a sunrise. These pictures taken at sunrise will show you just how much beauty can be enjoyed from this time of day. And if you have trouble getting up early, these pictures will certainly motivate you to get out of bed on the days that you don t have to! Waking up to a beautiful sunrise can be one of the most enjoyable and inspiring experiences. Sunrises are known for their vibrant, colorful displays, displaying the sky in all its glory. Many people who strive to capture the perfect sunrise photo head out at dawn in hopes of finding a stunning view. But what many people don’t know is that some of the best colors can be seen before the sun actually rises.
A quote by photographer, Pamela Aquilani: “The vibrant color this morning lasted exactly three minutes and happened twenty minutes before actual sunrise. You need to be set up and ready long before the sun breaks the horizon.”

Of course, you also don’t want to miss the “other end” of the day when the sun is setting. The evening colors and the lights of the Indian River Inlet Bridge are wonderful.
Beautiful sunrise, Bill! I agree, to capture the perfect sunrise, you have to plan ahead!
Thank you, Sharon, I appreciate the compliment and the comment.
Lovely work and great advice. Thanks!
Thank you, Bob, for both the compliment and for taking time to comment.
Agree about the beauty of sunrises – if only I could get my body to cooperate! I usually catch the other end of the day – and, as you suggest, the alpenglow in the mountains comes after the actual sunset
Indeed, it also happens at the “other end of the day.” Thank you for commenting, Steve.
Beautiful sunsets!
Thank you so much, Tatiana.
Yes, great story well illustrated with your photographs. I like flying to the west so that your body clock makes getting up much easier. But your point about the best color is well made.
Thank you, Steve. There are so many opportunities to have – if we just maintain situational awareness.
