Matterhorn Photo: 'Matterhorn at the Golden or Magic Hour' by Wolfgang Piecha

Matterhorn at the Golden or Magic Hour

Switzerland | Matterhorn

Average rating: 4.6

(use stars to vote)

Seconds after rising over the horizon, roughly half an hour after the Blue Hour, the red spectrum of the sun light prevails for some minutes: time for the Golden or Magic Hour to paint Matterhorn in orange. Starting at the peak - sinking slowly down to the bottom, at the speed of the rotation of our planet.
