The title of this image has a special place in my heart. The Blue Hour is a short period of time just before the sun rises and just after it sets when the entire world seems to turn blue. The evening blue hour was my Mom’s favorite time of day, and I have so many memories of her looking out the window, or standing outside, cigarette in hand, looking up at the sky, and with a sigh of contentment softly saying “l’heure bleue”.
