Twilight sunset in La Pobla de Lillet

In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can admire the fantastic summer sunset in La Pobla de Lillet, at twilight with the rays filtering through the clouds.

La Pobla de Lillet is a town located in Alt Berguedà, in the Vall de Lillet, at an altitude of 843 metres. The Llobregat River crosses this town and receives from the left, right in the middle of the town, the Arija and Regatell tributaries.

With an extension of 51.32 km2, this municipality borders Castellar de n'Hug to the north; to the south, with Castell de l'Areny; to the east, with Gombrèn and Sant Jaume de Frontanyà and, to the west, with Guardiola de Berguedà.

The crepuscular rays we see in snapshots, in atmospheric optics, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from a single point in the sky.

These rays flow through openings in clouds (mostly stratocumulus) or between other objects. They are columns of sunlit air separated by dark cloud shadow regions.

The name comes from its frequent appearances during the twilight hours (sunrise and sunset), when the contrasts between light and dark are most obvious. It is not for nothing that crepuscular comes from the Latin word crepusculum, which means "twilight".
