L' Heure Bleue

7:30 p.m. Thursday in Tucson, Arizona
No clouds today just an luminous evening sky from my back yard.
I am very lucky to live in Tucson because of Kitt Peak Observatories
we as a city have less light pollution so the evening sky is usually
clear and filled with stars.

Usually I post photos of the wonderful daytime clouds and mountains
from my home in Tucson. What is harder to convey is the evening sky
using my little point and click. The twilight in Tucson is indeed
luminous and I always think very Maxfield Parrish.
I am not sure if all the light refraction is my dirty lens or whatever
is flying in the air but I am pleasantly surprised and will take all
the credit, for what I think is a lovely photo.
