What golden hour means here

Golden hour is the stretch when the sun sits low, between 6° above and 4° below the horizon. Its light travels through more atmosphere, which scatters blue and leaves warm, soft, directional light with long shadows. In Armagh, at 54.4° north, the sun crosses that band at a shallow angle, so golden hour lasts longer than in most places.

Blue hour follows in the evening and comes before golden hour in the morning, while the sun is 4° to 6° below the horizon: the sky turns deep blue and city lights balance with it.
