Golden

The "golden hour" occurs approximately an hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset. The lack of direct sunlight eliminates the extreme contrast of darks and lights, and often casts a warm glow over the world. Some of the most dramatic and breathtaking landscape photography is achieved during that hour.

For a brief moment in time, even the urban decay of old downtown warehouses and boarded up windows becomes like a city paved with golden bricks.

Even this dreary garage door comes alive with warm, fiery tones set against a deep blue sky.

But the golden light fades quickly as one color blends into another and finally falls into darkness.
