Can you think of a parallel scene of dawn or evening when everything is steeped in golden light?

Solution
- Yes, in the evening, the sun sinks below the horizon to set. As it goes lower and lower, its dark-orange-crimson rays spread across the sky and the surroundings steep in gold light. It brings an awesome scenery to view.
- Dawn is the first appearance of light in the sky before sunrise. The golden glow covering the sky, signals to the animals, especially, the birds that the sun is about to rise.
- As a result, there is a lot of chirping of the birds like the rooster, the cuckoo, and many more.
- The birds chirping are like a wake-up call for everyone. There is a golden light covering the sky. The golden light marks the beginning of a new day.
