Default Re: Is this sentence correct? Thanks in advance

Buildings in the setting sun is a noun phrase, and can be used as a single noun. The bridge is in the sun is an independent clause that can function as its own sentence. Try this:

The bridge in the setting sun to the west stood in stark contrast to the wilderness and storm in the east.
