Golden & blue hour
Choose a place (or use your location) and a date. You get the times of the soft golden light, the blue hour, sunrise and sunset, and the height of the sun all day.
How it works
Golden hour: the sun between 6° above and 4° below the horizon, warm and soft. Blue hour: the sun 4° to 6° below the horizon, deep blue sky with lights still on.
Times are worked out with the standard astronomical formulas; mountains, buildings and clouds can change what you see by a few minutes.
