I have captured this spotlight with the bell tower of Santa Maria de Su, a church of large proportions in a classicist style whose silhouette is highlighted by the flushed reddish sky.
The autumn sunrise shines like this in Su, a small town in the municipality of Riner (Solsonès), located at the head of the Matamargó creek, at an altitude of 726 meters above sea level.
This place consists of a nucleus of Romanesque and Gothic style houses grouped around the parish church of Santa Maria, protagonist of the candilazo. Su is already mentioned in the year 1055, as Suu, at which time it was part of the domain of the viscounty of Cardona.
The church of Su is built on the primitive one, which is very old, which had been donated in 1123 to the Canonical Church of Solsona by Ponç Hug de Cervera, a donation ratified in 1192.
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.
