Original Sunrise and Sunset Photography and Paintings in Oil, Acrylic and Watercolor by Ricardos Creations - email RicardosCreations@gmail.com When it comes to viewing a great sunrise and sunset, I find the best time of year is during winter. The colors of a sunrise or sunset are based on how light is entering and traveling through the atmosphere. The dust and pollution particles in the air scatter light and reduce how much makes it to the ground, and thus reduces the intensity of colors at sunrise and sunset. So, when it's hazy out, the sunrise or sunset colors will be more muted. When the air is crisp and clear, these twilight hours will offer up more vibrant colors. Often, the air circulation is more sluggish during the summer, and because the photochemical reactions which result in the formation of smog and haze proceed most rapidly at that time of the year, late fall and winter are the most favored times for sunrise and sunset viewing over most of the United States. Pollution climatology also largely explains why the deserts and tropics are noted for their twilight hues, due to the minimal air pollution in these regions, by comparison.
