Description

If I'm not mistaken, the large island in the background is Cypress Island, up in the San Juans in Washington State. Some friends and I went out looking for eagles and tundra swans back in January, and we stopped at the beach just as it was getting dark. I love the way the sky turns slowly to dark blue, with lighter shades near the horizon that get darker as you look up. I'm told this is called the "blue hour" and it's one of my favorite times of the day.

This has a soft, quiet feel to it. The shades of blue are wonderful, so subdued. This is a view that begs to be seen, and taken in.

What a great shot. It reminds me a little of a moiuntain range near me called The You Yangs

This oozes peace and tranquility and I needed a good dose of that tonight, so thank you. I love the trees across the top.

Beautiful job TK:)...I really like the overall blue tone of your photograph. This is only possible during a short period of time before sunup or after sundown each day. I looked up a short link for anybody interested in a little more on this exciting time of the day: Click Here Your photo makes a great illustration.

Most of the time you take a picture and miss a little something. Maybe the lighting isn't just right or the focus is a little soft. Not this time. This is freaky good, overwelming. It's one that needs to be a mural on the wall of a livingroom.

I love the silhouette of the branch framing the top of the Blue Hour. Shades of blue, adding depth. Very well done, Clive

SO beautiful, it makes me want to be out there in a rowing boat..but I'd have to get back before it got dark, I suppose. This such a serene composition!
