Sweet Light

Indirect sunlight experienced in the period just before sunset or just after sunrise that has been refracted by the atmosphere into a golden or even an orangish-red color that flatters landscapes and life forms alike and is highly prized by both photographers and painters. It is also the safest light in which to sunbathe.
Manhattan's architecturally inconsistent jumble of high rise office towers and apartment buildings looked like a beautiful, unified whole in glow of the sweet light of a late winter's day.

The Louvre, which often looks imposing amid the Parisian gloom, radiates a refined elegance in the sweet light of the sunset.
