sunset scene

Golden hour view

A sunset scene is a view or depiction of the sun descending toward or below the horizon, typically featuring warm colors—oranges, reds, pinks, and purples—across the sky.

The phrase appears in photography, painting, and film to describe both natural vistas and artistic compositions: She captured a gorgeous sunset scene from the balcony.

Sunset scenes are so common in stock photography and amateur snapshots that they've become somewhat clichéd, though no less beautiful in person.
