As the sun sets and daylight wanes, the most magical palette lays down color on everything a camera can capture. From golden time to twilight to dusk, the best light can be found when it’s waning. ♣

I do agree, and all your images capture that notion.

Yesterday the golden afternoon light was magical, and I did not have my camera!

No kidding. Usually it’s with me, but it was just one of those times when I was empty handed!

I live in a somewhat urban area, and my apartment faces west. I came home yesterday to the most glorious sky. So many colors. I left the light off and just stared out the window as the sun set.

What a lovely find, isn’t it, when you can just appreciate light for its beauty? Whether with camera or not. Thanks for taking the time to say so, Kat.

You are right, the colours turn magnificent at that time if the day. I like how pictures can look so differently depending on the time of the day. We could shoot the same thing under different lights along the day, it must be amazing how it can look.

You’re so right, Roberto, shoot something ugly in mid-day sun and it’s still ugly. Shoot it during the golden hour and it’s magical. Thanks for your comments.

Fairy light as I like to call sunrise or dusk, has been for me, tricky to capture best on my camera. I just have a point and shoot. No DSLR.
I almost fear one day if I see northern lights, then I truly won’t be able to capture the magic moment! Once we were in the Rocky mountains at twilight and all the stars were out in the deepening night sky. Impossible to capture on my camera.

Fairy light is a wonderful term, Jean! I think if you are lucky enough to see northern lights, it would be wise to watch and enjoy the moment. That could be a memory to last a lifetime, even without a photo.

We had the unexpected surprise when we went to Hawai’i Island and went up Mauna Kea, a dead volcano. It’s not that high compared to the mountains in British Columbia.
The U.S. federal govern’t have there observatories and mega-telescopes. It was AMAZING. The whole sky was dusted with stars. I had never seen a sky so thick with stars!
