Immediately following the golden hour, comes twilight – a time that is neither dark nor daylight.  This is also a time known in Germany as the blue hour – a time when the sky is a deep beautiful blue.  During this short time, which typically lasts far less than an hour, is a good time to photograph some amazing colors using your camera on a tripod.  I really liked this scene in Mainz Germany with the deep blue of the sky reflecting off the cobblestone surrounding this well.  I found the color contrast between the orange sandstone of the well and the deep blue of the sky particularly striking.  I also like how the lines of stones on the ground point toward an area in the image which is a third of the way up from the bottom and a third of the way over from the right.
