morning light

Early day illumination

Morning light is the natural illumination that comes with sunrise and the early hours of day.

It tends to be soft, diffuse, and golden—qualities that photographers and painters prize: The morning light streamed through the curtains.

Figuratively, morning light suggests clarity or fresh perspective: Everything looked different in the morning light.
