Photography in "The Golden Hour"

This is a photo I shot in Chicago Park in San Diego's "Barrio Logan" district.  Later in the day the light is much more even and warmer (higher color temperature).  This photo was taken about an hour before sunset.  In photography this is known as "The Golden Hour" because of the yellowish/gold hue that is cast upon your subject(s).  This term is also used for the first hour or so after sunrise.  These are the most ideal times for photography as the light is much less harsh and unflattering.
