GOLDEN LIGHT

At the beginning or at the end of the day, with cloudless weather, when the sun is (still) an hour above the horizon (below 30 degrees), the objects would be illuminated by a light-orange glow. Inconspicuous, gray buildings, roads or landscapes get a warm tone. Photographers call this the "golden light".

As in the morning and afternoon, are all angles possible, including against the sun. Please control the white balance and use the "sun" setting instead of "auto", otherwise there would not be left too much of the warm color.
