In La Vanguardia Readers' Photos we can enjoy contemplating this autumn sunrise with a very colorful reddish sky from L'Escala, in the Alt Empordà region.
The candilazo 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. In this case, the red luminosity is also reflected in the water of the Mediterranean Sea.
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.
In a certain way, when this light passes through the clouds, it illuminates them and could be said to color them with those tones.
The candilazo is also known as arrebol, which is the red color seen in the clouds illuminated by the sun's rays, especially at dawn and in the evening.
