The Magic Hour: Long Light (NOT sunset)
View allAll Photos Tagged GoldenHour
We were up in the Houston area for a wedding shower and decided to check out the famed bolivar peninsula. We got up early and headed out to high island. This sunrise backlit shot of a great egret was one of the first shots I took after setting up.
I thought I could use a little more of the golden hour on my shores before autumn blue(s) set in.
Thank you so much everyone for your wonderful comments and support! Always greately appreciated!
Cheers my friends! :)

Each of my trips to Tuscany led me to this exceptional location early in the morning. I look forward to traveling again soon...
Jede meiner Toskanareisen führte mich morgens früh zu auch dieser Ausnahmelocation. Ich freue mich darauf, bald wieder auf Reisen gehen zu können...

Exactly one year ago today at the golden hour at a biotope in the Volcanic Eifel.
Panorama from 5 vertical images.
75% of getting a good shot is being there :-) I spend a lot of time scouting and looking for scenes and responding to changes in the light and landscape.
It had rained pretty heavy just hours before, and the water here is paper-thin, just enough for a reflection. No way was I going to pass this spot up.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the photo.
EXPLORED: Highest position: 29 on Thursday, February 12, 2009
This shot was taken in Shenandoah valley last month.
PS: Bad news. Last week, my old PC hard drive failed. Had to back up all my files and format the disk to clean it. It's not reliable but still working. So my stream slacks lately.
I used to capture many sunset shots at where I lived near such. I passing by this the other day, so I stopped to snap one, why not?? :-))
Pretty magical, huh?

Absolute Stille: Gerade noch Tag, fast schon Nacht - im Wunderland Tromsö.
Absolute silence: Still day, almost night - in the wonderland Tromsoe.

Norwegen / Norway - Tromsö / Tromsø
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troms%C3%B8
Tromsø ist mit 76.649 Einwohnern (Stand 1. Januar 2019) die achtgrößte Stadt Norwegens und die größte Stadt im Norden des Landes. Die Provinzverwaltung der Fylke Troms og Finnmark hat hier ebenso ihren Sitz wie der Arktische Rat.[2]
Der wichtigste Arbeitgeber ist das Universitätsklinikum in Nord-Norwegen (UNN) mit etwa 4.500 Angestellten. In Tromsø befinden sich eine Universität, die Norwegische Fischereihochschule, das Klima- und Umweltforschungszentrum Framsenteret und die Mack-Brauerei.
Geographie
Tromsø liegt 344 km Luftlinie nördlich des Polarkreises. Dies entspricht der geographischen Breite von Nord-Alaska. Tromsø beheimatet nicht nur die nördlichste Universität, sondern auch die nördlichste Kathedrale der Welt.
Tromsø ist mit einem administrativen Stadtgebiet von 2.558 km² (davon 1.434 km² auf dem Festland und 1.124 km² auf mehreren Inseln vor der Küste) die flächengrößte Stadt Norwegens.
Die Universität, der Flughafen und das Zentrum befinden sich auf der Insel Tromsøya. Zudem machen Schiffe auf der Hurtigruten im Hafen von Tromsø (UN/LOCODE NO TOS) Station.

Tromsø is a municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the city of Tromsø.
Tromsø lies in Northern Norway. The 2,521-square-kilometre (973 sq mi) municipality is the 18th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Tromsø is the 9th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 71,590 (2014). The municipality's population density is 30.6 inhabitants per square kilometre (79/sq mi) and its population has increased by 15.9% over the last decade.[6][7] It is the largest urban area in Northern Norway and the third largest north of the Arctic Circle anywhere in the world (following Murmansk and Norilsk). Most of Tromsø, including the city centre, is located on the island of Tromsøya, 350 kilometres (217 mi) north of the Arctic Circle. In 2017, the city of Tromsø had a population of about 65,000 people spread out over Tromsøya and parts of Kvaløya and the mainland. Tromsøya is connected to the mainland by the Tromsø Bridge and the Tromsøysund Tunnel, and to the island of Kvaløya by the Sandnessund Bridge.
The municipality is warmer than most other places located on the same latitude, due to the warming effect of the Gulf Stream. Tromsø is even milder than places much farther south of it elsewhere in the world, such as on the Hudson Bay and in Far East Russia, with the warm-water current allowing for both relatively mild winters and tree growth in spite of its very high latitude.
The city centre of Tromsø contains the highest number of old wooden houses in Northern Norway, the oldest house dating from 1789. The city is a cultural centre for its region, with several festivals taking place in the summer. Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge of the electronica duo Röyksopp and Lene Marlin grew up and started their careers in Tromsø. Noted electronic musician Geir Jenssen also hails from Tromsø.
