l'heure bleue

In photography, I learned, there are those 40 minutes after sunset (and before sunrise), which are called "the blue hour". During that time "red light passes straight into space while blue light is scattered in the atmosphere and therefore reaches the earth's surface" (wikipedia). Many photographers love this time and I really understand why. Look at this photo, even a plain construction site looks amazing.
