A golden hour is such a breathtaking moment that you cannot miss. It has a beautiful warm shade of light, and the clouds look so dreamy and fantastical. It can be seen before the dark settles in, before the stars spread in the night sky. A stunning sundown like this is most likely to be captured because of its beauty. It sometimes reminds me of life.
Nowadays, when we see such incredible moments like this, we capture it with cameras or phones to preserve the moment and look back to it when we want to. Others might get disappointed when they miss a perfect moment like this. But a golden hour happens twice a day: the hour immediately after sunrise and the hour immediately before sunset. So even though you did miss it, there is still a next chance for you to even catch a glimpse of it. You just need to wait for it.
Sometimes, other people wait for the golden hour to occur just so they could take a photograph of it for the preservation and the memories of it. They want to savor the moment and enjoy the scenery of the light coming from the sun, but they have things to do. Things for school and for work. And most of the time, these things pressure us into finishing it on time. Getting rest from all of those overwhelming work and breathing the awe-inspiring sights of nature truly gives us a break from the bright, blinding screens of our cellphones, laptops and TVs. Leave all of the mind-wretching things out of the way, and relax. Enjoy the beauty of nature, even for once.
