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).

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.
