sunset glow
Dusk's warm light
Sunset glow is the warm light that suffuses the sky and landscape as the sun descends toward or below the horizon.
The term captures both the reddish-orange illumination and the atmospheric effect it creates: The hills were bathed in sunset glow.
It often carries romantic or nostalgic connotations, suggesting beauty that's fleeting.
