Why the light comes early here
Terrain shapes the light at Triple Bees. Tree lines, hills, and ridges block the sun before it reaches the flat horizon, so the usable golden window closes earlier than the published sunset suggests. The times on this page pull golden hour earlier by 12 minutes to match what you will actually see through the lens, so plan couple portraits inside that adjusted window.
