I share in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia this snapshot that captures the moment of the orange sunset in the landscape around Igualada, in the Anoia region.
This tone of the sky is due to the candilazo, a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds 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 the clouds illuminated by the sun’s rays, especially at dawn and in the evening.
