I have captured these images of the spectacular sunset in Casserres with a large candil that has dyed the sky an intense red, as seen in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.
Casserres, in the Berguedà region, is located 12 km south of Berga. It extends to the left of the Llobregat river. It is made up of large cultivated areas and crossed by the streams of Clarà and Merola.
The candilazo is a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds in the sky show a wide palette of colors that ranges 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.
In a certain way, when this light passes through the clouds, it illuminates them and could be said to color them with those tones.
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.
