In this photograph in La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos, the last sun of the day is portrayed at sunset in the Urgell region, when it is already on its way to taking over from the night moon.
As can be seen in the snapshot, the yellowish circumference of the sun shines, shines, in contrast with the orange sky and the shadows of the trees that remain in the foreground.
The color of the sky at sunset is due to the candilazo, a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds in the sky show a wide palette of colors ranging 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.
