This photograph, captured in the town of El Tarròs, in the Urgell region, shows in detail in La Vanguardia Readers' Photos the effects of drought on a cracked leaf and, however, its beauty at sunset .

The color of the photograph is dominated by the setting of the sun with the candilazo, a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds in the sky show a wide palette of colors that goes 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.

The candilazo is also known as arrebol, which is the red color seen in clouds illuminated by the sun's rays, especially at dawn and in the evening.

The reservoirs of the internal Catalan basins continue at 16% of their capacity, thus showing the persistent problem of drought in Catalonia, also, this winter.
