Gilles Roy submitted this photo and note: “My aircraft is a 2007 Cessna Turbo Skylane. I was flying over Salton Sea, south of Coachella Valley in Southern California, at an altitude 3,000 MSL. I question if you can find out this: Am I flying in the sunrise or sunset? I am the only soul aboard. This is a clip of a GoPro video, one of the best I did over many years. Mother Nature often offers us spectacular views, now decide if it’s morning or late in the day…sunrise or sunset.”

I would guess that you are south-east bound on V137 watching a winter sunrise.
Unless the picture is inverted as is often the case with go-pro you are flying east into the sunrise.
