Sunset colors are typically more brilliant than sunrise colors, because the evening air contains more particles than morning air. In this photograph by the photographer a sunset near Humayun's tomb located in Nizamuddin East, Delhi, India has been photographed. Humayun's tomb is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. |

Delhi sunset in India
The photographer he was amazed by this area and it is a gated, posh centrally located residential colony of South-Central Delhi. It is a historic bustling neighborhood and one the greenest, safest and quietest colonies in Central Delhi having lots of parks and trees. Hayumans tomb that is located here was commissioned by Humayun's first wife and chief consort known as Haji Begum and it is actually the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent.
What is the difference between sunset and twilight?
Sunset is distinct from twilight, which is divided into three stages, the first being civil twilight, which begins once the Sun has disappeared below the horizon and continues until it descends to 6 degrees below the horizon and the second phase is nautical twilight, between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon and the third is astronomical twilight, which is the period when the Sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon. Dusk is at the very end of astronomical twilight and is the darkest moment of twilight just before night. Night occurs when the sun reaches 18 degrees below the horizon and no longer illuminates the sky. |
Nizamuddin East in India
The colony is rapidly developing and the prices of the colony are expected to soar quite fast in the coming years with increasing interest being shown by investors. With the opening of the Nizamuddin Metro Station on the pink line the prices of the floors have increased further. It is a very livable colony and one of the safest colonies of New Delhi. The residents enjoy 24 hours a day water and power supply. With rapid urbanization and re-construction of old plots by builders, the colony has attained a chic and neat look and has become increasingly sought after to due to its prime location and quiet nature. The colony has wide roads, greenery and is in close proximity to all major amenities and markets of South and Central Delhi.
The neighborhood benefits from excellent connectivity to all important places like railway station, Sunder nursery, Humayun's Tomb, airport and business districts. The buyer profile is largely skewed towards the senior management of corporates, software professionals, doctors, advocates, chartered accountants and the business class. It is also highly coveted by corporates looking to open their offices and guest houses.
Changing in colors
Sunset, also known as sundown, is the daily disappearance of the Sun below the horizon due to Earth's rotation. As viewed from the equator, the equinox Sun sets exactly due west in both spring and autumn. As viewed from the middle latitudes, the local summer Sun sets to the southwest for the northern hemisphere, but to the northwest for the southern hemisphere. The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the upper limb of the Sun disappears below the horizon. Near the horizon, atmospheric refraction causes sunlight rays to be distorted to such an extent that geometrically the solar disk is already about one diameter below the horizon when a sunset is observed.
"As a ray of white sunlight travels through the atmosphere to an observer, some of the colors are scattered out of the beam by air molecules and airborne particles, changing the final color of the beam the viewer sees. Because the shorter wavelength components, such as blue and green, scatter more strongly, these colors are preferentially removed from the beam"
Sunrise and sunset in India
At sunrise and sunset, when the path through the atmosphere is longer, the blue and green components are removed almost completely, leaving the longer wavelength orange and red hues we see at those times. The remaining reddened sunlight can then be scattered by cloud droplets and other relatively large particles to light up the horizon red and orange.

The photographer's own experience of Delhi
"- My journey as a travel photographer in India began in the bustling city of Delhi. The moment I stepped out of the airport, I was welcomed by the chaotic but charming streets filled with vibrant colors, sounds and smells. From street food vendors to colorful markets to impressive monuments, every corner of Delhi offered a unique photo opportunity", the Photographer says.
"- One of my most memorable experiences in Delhi was photographing the iconic Red Fort. The intricate carvings and architecture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site were simply breathtaking. I also visited the bustling Chandni Chowk market, where I captured the hustle and bustle of everyday life in India. From Delhi, I traveled to Agra to photograph the magnificent Taj Mahal, which can also read about in my archives stories. The sheer grandeur of this white marble mausoleum left me speechless and it was a challenge to capture its beauty in just one photograph. I was also lucky enough to witness the Taj Mahal at sunrise, where the soft golden light created a magical atmosphere", the Photographer says again.
