The Blue Hour is Now!!

Tweet

This very bright color appers in Winter about this hour and would be even more beautiful without too many street lights, but you can still see the sapphire blue sky. You can watch our webcamera every day about 4 PM Central European Time and 10 AM Eastern Time. This is from the municipality http://webkamera.overtornea.se/local/viewer/webbkamera.htm The following view if at the Arctic Circle http://194.117.186.205/view/view.shtml I wrote a poem about it some years ago: The Blue Hour, a Painting in Words Winter afternoon Slowly, slowly gathering twilight The sky, the snow are blue like sapphire The moon is shining through the thinnest, softest veil of clouds The moonbeams build a shimmering bridge on icey river Dark blue background hills complete the work of art I feel so grateful for this overwhelming beauty And I thank the Artist, Our Great Creator Who gave a sense of beauty to his earthly children To give delight to human eyes forever
