In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can see in this sequence of images the spectacular fade to black of the sun as it sets and ends the day, in Manlleu, Osona region.
In the images we can also look at how the color of the sun evolves as night approaches and how the clouds also help to cover the sun.
We are facing the phenomenon of the candilazo, a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds in the sky show a wide palette of colors that goes from pink to the most intense orange.
As part of the phenomenon of scattering of sunlight, in the morning and afternoon hours, when the sun is closest to the horizon, the light that reaches Earth is soft tones between red and orange.
In a certain way, when this light passes through the clouds, it illuminates them and it could be said that it colors them with those hues.
The candilazo is also known as arrebol, which is the red color that is seen in the clouds illuminated by the sun’s rays, especially at dawn and at sunset.
