The same three stages occur in reverse before sunrise, as dawn.
In Hérouville-Saint-Clair today, the morning golden hour runs 06:55-07:57 and the evening golden hour 20:04-21:06, with the cooler blue hour around 06:42-06:55 and 21:06-21:19. These warm and cool light windows drift through the year as the sun's path changes.
