Use case
Use this template as a pure-CSS art experiment — a mountain sunset scene with no images and no canvas — or as a starting point for your own CSS illustration.
What you learn
What you learn: how gradients and clip-paths draw shapes without images, how CSS variables switch a whole palette between day and night, and how small animations (clouds, sun, lake reflection) are built with CSS alone.
Frequently asked questions
Is there any JavaScript in this template?
Only a small toggle script that adds or removes a class on the page. All of the artwork itself is CSS.
How does the day/night toggle work?
It toggles a class that swaps the CSS variables for sky, sun, and water colours — the gradients repaint automatically.
Can I make my own scene from it?
Yes. Change the gradient stops, shapes, and variables in style.css to draw a different scene.
