Last Light, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

After the sunset light often lingers. For example, in late February, long after nominal sunset Horsetail Falls in Yosemite lights up.

As this photo from Pirate’s Cove shows, the last light is often the best light: dreamy, otherwordly, mysterious, and evocative.
