Beautiful sunset wallpaper using only CSS3

Hello Friends ,

As we all know that CSS3 have some amazing features. So today I have decided to make some simple wallpaper using only CSS3 . And after devoting 1 and 1/2 hour with CSS3 I came up with this simple wallpaper. Below I have attached snapshot of the wallpaper , to view the original output visit DEMO ( although for now it is only visible in CHROME web browser).

CSS3 wallpaper

For the above wallpaper I have used only CSS3 and some divs.

CODE :

HTML

      <div class='sky-middle'></div>
      <div class='sky'></div>
      <div class='blue-orange'></div>
      <div class='orange-red'></div>
      <div class='sun'>
         <div class='innerSunClass'></div>
     </div>

CSS

 .sky{
     width:100%;
     height:50%;
     background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear,4% 0%,5% 85%,
               from(#111), to(#506387), color-stop(.6,#3F3560));
    }
 .sky-middle{
     width:968px;
     height:50%;
  background-image:-webkit-gradient(radial,-100 150,175,300 175,40,
                from(#470705), to(#506387), color-stop(.4,#3F3560));
     opacity:.2;
     position:absolute;
 }
 .blue-orange{
     height: 100px;
     width: 100%;
     background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%,
            from(#506387), to(#A81C1C), color-stop(.6,#A4502A));
  }
 .orange-red{
     height: 200px;
     width: 100%;
     background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%,
             from(#A81C1C), to(#5C3939), color-stop(.6,#5C3838));
}
.sun{
    width:200px;
    margin-top:-250px;
    margin-left:49%;
    height:60px;
    overflow:hidden;
}
.innerSunClass{
    border:medium none;
    height:100px;
    width:100px;
    margin-top:15px;
    margin-left:15px;
    background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%,
                  from(#fff), to(#A81C1C), color-stop(.4,#A81C1C));
  -webkit-border-radius:50px;
}

As per now this example works only on Chrome web browser.To see the original file visit DEMO.
