Civil Twilight

New Mexico

In the remote area of New Mexico known as the Valley of Dreams Badlands, is a geological oddity. The entire area is a maze of toadstools, eroded formations, little windows, petrified wood, and more. The setting sun's brilliant orange hue along the horizon, especially behind a notch in the rock formations, signals civil twilight which approximates the limit at which solar illumination suffices for the human eye to clearly distinguish terrestrial objects.
