Inspiration:

The blue hour is the period of twilight in the morning or evening, around the nautical stage when the sun is at a significant depth below the horizon and residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue shade, which differs from the one visible during most of a clear day.

I experienced this blue hour in the morning before sunrise in the Austrian Alps. It is just magical and enchanting.
