Into the Blue Hour
Prince Eugene's Upper Belvedere


Upper Belvedere Palace
South façade
and reflecting pool
moments after sun set -
magical!

Blue Hour at Wikipedia
The blue hour comes from
the 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.

    I love such reflections !!!

    This one reminds me of a nearby castle here, built in the 17th century.
    (When Louis XIV saw it, he was so jealous and envious that he put his owner to jail and had Versailles castle built !)

    Das Schloß ist wie aus einem Märchen! So ein schönes Licht!! Wann ist die blaue Stunden genau? Kurz vor oder doch nach Sonnenuntergang?
    Ich mag auch die Spiegelung im Teich sehr!!
