Urban landscapes: The leaving of ice

SPRING ON THE BOW RIVER, CALGARY, ALBERTA

This river runs through the centre of this western Canadian city and that’s where I made this exposure in the ‘blue hour’ of pre-sunrise light, standing on a bridge while traffic whizzed by. The lights on the opposite shore add a nice touch, don’t you think? Nikon D90, tripod, polarizing filter.

Beautiful image, Frank. I’ve heard of the blue hour before but have never experienced this light for myself. Thank you.
