This lamp stands on Sandia Peak over Albuquerque, New Mexico during the "blue" hour following sunset.
This lamp stands on Sandia Peak over Albuquerque, New Mexico during the "blue" hour following sunset.
Sandia Peak is 10,378 feet in elevation that affords a magnificent view of the city and valley below, both day and night.
We were enjoying the night view as we waited for the tram (or) gondola to return to the top of the mountain to carry us back down.
I couldn't take my eyes off this lamp...

What a beautiful indigo sky. The white light of the globe lamp is a stunning contrast with the deep blue sky. Magnificent composition!
Like a full moon night. Great pic.

The deep blue is amazing. Great composition on this photo, well done.
My neighbour has light bulbs like yours, but the light is orange. Yours look very cool.
I love the color of the sky and the bulb I thought it's the moon ^_^ Happy weekend!

Fantastic photo! The glow of the lamp post against the deep blue/black sky is incredibly captured!
This is a truly striking photo, with the light globe mimicking the moon...well done!
Never heard of this "blue hour" in the desert... This picture is beautiful !
Over 10000 ft has to take your breath away with a bit of oxygen deprivation. Yet this blue sky has the same effect. How beautiful!
Love the globe against the dark blue sky.
If I was there, I would probably be mesmerized by that lamp, too. It's a lovely photo. So, this is what the blue hour is about. Thanks.
Su-sieee! Mac
This and That. Here and There. Now, Sometimes Then.
It's the full moon sitting on a post. I just wonder how you got it up there in the first place. A beauty, Carolyn.
It's beautiful - I too thought of the moon ;-)
