Alpenglow refers to the enchanting, rosy light that
illuminates the mountains at dawn or dusk. This natural phenomenon
occurs when the sun is below the horizon, casting a soft, warm hue on
the peaks. The sky transitions from deep blues to shades of pink and
orange, creating a breathtaking display. Alpenglow captures the essence
of fleeting beauty and the magic of the transition between day and
night. It reminds us of nature's ability to inspire awe and wonder,
painting the mountains with a serene, ethereal glow.
Glowing on other locales other than mountains it's known as Magic Light
in the movie industry. One hour before sunset and one hour before
sunrise are sought-after times of day to shoot specific scenes like
riding off into the sunset.
