Golden hour, blue hour & daylight in Vancouver
Golden hour is the soft, warm light while the sun sits between −4° and +6° of the horizon, a photographer's favourite window. Blue hour is the cooler stretch on the far side, the sun between −6° and −4°. The exact times shift a little every day, so the windows above are computed for today with the NOAA solar model.
Vancouver sits at 49.3° N, in the high band. That means daylight swings from about 16h 15m at the June solstice down to 8h 11m around Christmas, a big seasonal swing. The higher the latitude, the longer and more dramatic golden hour becomes.
