The blue hour is the period of twilight when the Sun is at a significant depth below the horizon and residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue shade, which differs from the one visible during most of a clear day, which is caused by Rayleigh scattering.

The blue hour occurs when the Sun is far enough below the horizon so that the sunlight's blue wavelengths dominate due to the Chappuis absorption caused by ozone. Since the term is colloquial, it lacks an official definition similar to dawn, dusk, and the three stages of twilight. Rather, it refers to a state of natural lighting that usually occurs around the nautical stage of the twilight period (at dawn or dusk).

La hora azul es el período del crepúsculo en el que el Sol se encuentra a una profundidad significativa por debajo del horizonte y la luz solar indirecta residual adquiere un tono predominantemente azul, que difiere del que se ve durante la mayor parte de un día despejado, que es causado por la dispersión de Rayleigh.

La hora azul ocurre cuando el Sol está lo suficientemente por debajo del horizonte para que dominen las longitudes de onda azules de la luz solar debido a la absorción de Chappuis causada por el ozono. Dado que el término es coloquial, carece de una definición oficial similar a amanecer, anochecer y las tres etapas del crepúsculo. Más bien, se refiere a un estado de iluminación natural que generalmente ocurre alrededor de la etapa náutica del período crepuscular (al amanecer o al atardecer).

This shot was taken when my family visited and we took them on a road trip across south west. They got to experience the American deserts in their whole July glory. It was fun to see people from India complain about heat, even though we are originally from a cooler mountainous area rather than some of the more hotter regions. This was basically one of the few shots I was allowed to take as it also doubled as a rest stop.

The sunset was pretty faint that day and the sky didn’t had too much drama either so I decided to make stretch pano shot to capture the vastness of the scene. As the fall is setting in I cannot wait to get out and capture some fall colors.

Monument Valley meaning valley of the rocks. It is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes. It is located on the Arizona–Utah border, near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.

This photograph is taken from a viewpoint which is located at the entrance of the park. It is a classic photograph of this fantastic place. The interesting moment of the photograph is that at sunset, the shadow of the tower on the left is projected on the tower in the middle; achieving the effect of a hand with a separate finger.

Of course, when you go to take this photograph it will not be an easy task. You will find thousands of tourists who want to take a selfie. In fact, if you look closely, you will see some shadows of some legs on the rock in the foreground on the right. These, I could no longer remove.

Por supuesto, cuando vayáis a hacer esta fotografía no será tarea fácil. Os encontrareis miles de turistas que querrán hacerse un selfie. Si os fijais bien vereis unas sombras de unas piernas en la roca del primer plano situada a la derecha. Estas, ya no las podía quitar.
