Golden hour, blue hour & daylight in Seoul

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.

Seoul sits at 37.6° N, in the temperate band. That means daylight swings from about 14h 46m at the June solstice down to 9h 34m around Christmas, a clear seasonal shift. The higher the latitude, the longer and more dramatic golden hour becomes.
