Golden winter sunrises in Cunit

I took this photograph, at 8 in the morning, on Cunit beach, in the Baix Penedès region, in front of the bunker and the tourist office. The truth is that in this town we have some enviable sunrises and sunsets, as seen in this image in La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos.

As we can see in the snapshot, although Cunit is one of the popular and busy summer destinations on the Costa Dorada, in the cold season it also attracts attention on the beach, much more secluded, to contemplate the sunrises more calmly.

The image is dominated by cloudiness, which does not prevent the colors of the candlelight from being imposed in the sky at the moment of the birth of the new day.

The candilazo or arrebol is a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds in the sky show a wide palette of colors that ranges from pink to the most intense orange.

As part of the phenomenon of dispersion of sunlight, in the morning and afternoon hours, when the sun is closer to the horizon, the light that reaches the Earth is soft tones between red and orange.
