We met Dr Brian John over the weekend, and were impressed by his arguments - was this the origin of Stonehenge's Blue Stones?
Given the right lighting / tones there in the early morning light about 45 minutes before sunrise, and the rocks are a pretty blue.

On an overcast Autumn morning, NS ET44AC 3601 is wasting no time heading westbound with train 233 as it crosses the Bluestone River in Bluefield, VA.
Pathway to Port Fairy lighthouse. Built 1859 - from basalt rock. Known in Victoria as "bluestone" it is a very hard and difficult to work rock.
Used in many old buildings around the state.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones. Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical Sarsens joined by one lintel. The whole monument, now ruinous, is orientated towards the sunrise on the summer solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds). Archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. [Wikipedia].
A blustery day (gusts of 40mph, according to the forecast), but sunny with cloud. TPE (The Photographers Ephemeris) showed good side lighting in the mid-morning, which was ideal for the shot I had planned from the day before (which was cloudy and wet).

Blue tones on the blue stones that cover this area of the Chesapeake Bay.
A cloudy morning that hid most of the sunrise.

I can't quite call this a blue hour shot as it was taken close to midnight, and all around me was very dark to the naked eye. The light comes from a 2/3 moon over my right shoulder combined with an exposure time of around three and a half minutes. Bluestone Bay is a kilometre or two further west from the main township of Port Fairy on Victoria's south coast.
Original slide taken in around 2010 with the 3D World stereo medium format film camera (80mm lenses) using Fuji Provia 100F colour slide film.
Exposure at f2.8 for three and a half minutes.
Scanned with a Canon R10, RF 24-240 lens and Nisi close up attachment.
And, yes, my feet got wet from some surprisingly large waves breaking on the rocks! Thankfully the sturdy Manfrotto tripod stayed rock steady.
Some gorgeous late evening light on the rolling contours of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Looking out from the Bluestone Heath Road, in the approx. direction of Belchford.
Bluestone Bay is a superb inlet on the eastern side of the Freycinet Peninsula, a few kilometres north of Cape Tourville.
The bay is completely out of character with most of Freycinet as it's shore is covered with pale blue and pink boulders.
Access is via a very eroded 4WD track which starts a kilometre short of the Cape Tourville lighthouse.
Despite the cloud cover the light was quite good and leant itself ideally for a long 30 second exposure which smoothed the water and added some movement to the sky.
A swirling cloudscape caught my eye. Built in 1869 this is one of the older buildings in our city. The dark stone is volcanic breccia consisting of fragments of rock lava in a matrix of ash that was ejected from a volcanic vent near our Port Chalmers about 13 million years ago. It is called bluestone.
