The Blue Hour













The blue hour comes from a French expression, l'heure bleue, which refers to the period of twilight each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day.

These are My very first attempts at an Evening Blue Hour, I was amazed what ended
up in the Photo.....

I know the very first photo is the 1st one I took, that was taken in the East
the lighter sunset ones of course were set in the west ~
I took 3 sets, all about 10 minutes apart
[at one point, the clouds were pink ~ just Beautiful]

I plan on setting my alarm this week to catch the early morning B.H. but that means
a 5:00am wake up call

I Promise to share, When I do
