The Blue Hour

Think… 1970s, England. The Blue Hour… that time of suspended animation between pub lunchtime drinking hours and the reopening for pub evening drinking hours. I am relieved to report that common sense has since prevailed – now all-day imbibing is available!

Keen photographers on the other hand, carefully calculate the Blue Hour – those 20 odd minutes when the sun is just below the horizon and the light is particularly blue. For the curious, a Blue Hour calculator can be found at http://www.bluehoursite.com, and an iOS App is also available!

Not what I expected to find deep in rural Victoria. This bold beauty sits in Kongwak, a small Gippsland hamlet with a population of less than 200 souls.

Little did I know that the festival has been an annual event at Federation Square, Melbourne since 2007 – maybe I don’t get out enough!

I rather like the way this HDR (High Dynamic Range) image has captured the ambiance of the evening. (Click on the image for a larger version)
