VOUBS team was recently reminded the following famous quotes giving us the perfect image of:

• Sunrise:

“How sweet the morning air is! See how that one little cloud floats like a pink feather from some gigantic flamingo. Now the red rim of the sun pushes itself ... How small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of Nature!” ― Arthur Conan Doyle

• Sunset

A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east.” ― John Steinbeck

Now we are looking for the perfect image that describes sunrise and sunset but make thanks to another type of art - photography. If you are professional or amateur, you should at least once try pointing your camera up in the sky at the moments when it is all colored and seems like it is in flames.

Last year, Ivaylo Madzharov won our contest with its photo taken in the Rhodope mountains (cover photo of the contest). Amazing beautiful view with lots of romantic pink. But besides romance sunrise and sunsent may correspond to other feelings such as:

• beginning a new challenge or ending a period;
• thankfulness that we survived one more day and we saw its morning/ evening;
• inspirational sentiments;
• many other feelings depending on the mind status of the person.

So, if you want to express any of these, don’t hesitate and join in to win the amazing award of 100 euro for the most touching photo.
