Weekly Photography Challenge – City Skyline
You can see 25 more example of city skyline photos here.
If you browse online for skyline photos you may notice a common thread among the images – many of them are shot at dusk, or at night. That’s because cities look great just as daylight is fading away and the lights of the city illuminate. It’s the magic of blue hour.
