Description
If I'm not mistaken, the large island in the background is Cypress Island, up in the San Juans in Washington State.
Some friends and I went out looking for eagles and tundra swans back in January, and we stopped at the beach just as it was getting dark.
I love the way the sky turns slowly to dark blue, with lighter shades near the horizon that get darker as you look up. I'm told this is called the "blue hour" and it's one of my favorite times of the day.

This has a soft, quiet feel to it. The shades of blue are wonderful, so subdued. This is a view that begs to be seen, and taken in.
Very beautiful and serene view! Thank you for sharing
Softly muted colors and a special kind of light...pretty...
What a great shot. It reminds me a little of a moiuntain range near me called The You Yangs
This oozes peace and tranquility and I needed a good dose of that tonight, so thank you. I love the trees across the top.
WOW! Now that's a gorgeous view captured perfectly. Really well done.
Beautiful job TK:)...I really like the overall blue tone of your photograph. This is only possible during a short period of time before sunup or after sundown each day. I looked up a short link for anybody interested in a little more on this exciting time of the day: Click Here Your photo makes a great illustration.
Lovely photo Tara a lovely soft look and feel to this.. love the blue through this too..
A beautiful view nicely framed by the branches.
Gorgeous shot. I love the little strip of sunset color at the horizon.
Most of the time you take a picture and miss a little something. Maybe the lighting isn't just right or the focus is a little soft. Not this time. This is freaky good, overwelming. It's one that needs to be a mural on the wall of a livingroom.
Yes this is indeed wonderful shot, so peaceful and blue :-)
Definitely my favourite time of day, when nature readies itself for bed... Gorgeous shot.
Oh yes - a wonderful time of day! Funny how they call it blue hour there and over here it is the golden hour! Wonderful natural frame with the tree and your image portrays a wonderful peaceful mood Tara! Well done Dierbaar! :)
I love the silhouette of the branch framing the top of the Blue Hour. Shades of blue, adding depth. Very well done, Clive
Wonderful view, light and mood. Excellent and very beautiful shot!
