In this photo there's a figure of someone standing on a narrow spit of sand jutting into the water, a lake I'm guessing. This someone is looking up at the sky, which is filled with yellows, oranges, pinks, purples, and reds, which are then reflected in the water below. Is this a sunrise or sunset? I don't know. On the image sites you can sometimes find the same photo in both search categories.

Sunrise or sunset

Which is it?
In a still photo you can’t tell.
Two passages that chameleon each other,
with the same quiet pastels,
the same bold primaries,
the same soft lighting.

The only difference is direction,
one rising, one falling,
and, oh yes,
the mood.

In this photo there are two simple fishing boats anchored out in the water. With no people in them they look lonely. The sky is filled with a beautiful display of yellows, oranges, pinks, purples, and reds, which are then reflected in the water below. Is this a sunrise or sunset? I don't know. But that's the point, isn't it?
