These sunrise and sunset wallpapers follow the light from the first bright edge on a snowy ridge to the last streak of orange on the water. If you like a quiet home screen, look for a landscape with a low horizon. A small strip of hillside gives the scene a sense of scale and leaves a wide sweep of sky behind your icons.
The sunrise wallpapers have some lovely details that are easy to miss in a thumbnail. On a mountain slope, the snow at the very top catches the light while the folds below are still in shadow. Open a vertical preview to see how that contrast looks across the screen. If you’re choosing sunrise and sunset wallpapers to use as a pair, try matching the warm light on that ridge with a similar shade of gold on the waves.
If you like a strong silhouette, look for sunrise and sunset wallpapers with trees in the foreground. In some of the sunset wallpapers, treetops stand out against orange clouds so clearly that you can make out individual branches. The ocean sunset wallpapers offer a different view of the same evening colors. On the water, a bright strip of sky becomes a trail of broken light that reaches toward the shore.
Set your favorite on both screens or give each one its own view. You can also share sunrise and sunset wallpapers straight from the preview when a particular sky reminds you of someone.
