Price Lake just south of Boone, NC. This photo was taken during the “blue hour”- a time of day when photographers love to capture the natural blue hues in nature. This natural phenomenon occurs daily when the sun is below the horizon just before sunrise or after sunset. The time frame is not literally an hour, but can vary depending on location and time of year. Regardless, the natural blue light beautifully illuminates the scene and in this particular shot, is also beautifully reflected by the water.
