the french have a romantic name for the phenomenon taking place before sunrise or after sunset, when for just ten minutes the sky and its surroundings take on a hazy colour of blue, hence its name l'heure bleue. always happy to catch that fleeting moment-in-twilight.
the blue hour, or blaue stunde in german, my favourite moments of the day. in the morning, full of hope and possibilities. before night, a bit melancholic and full of peace. xo
ReplyDeleteooh la la, yes, very romantic!
ReplyDeleteI remember learning a word in college called `liminal`, the state between two things we find those states to be so mysterious and full of possibilities... !
! I like how you give it a color, blue! Wow, is it just 10 minutes??!
How precious!! ♡
Yes, such a lovely moment. Have a great week!

my favorite time of day. hope you're still enjoying a post holiday happy haze. found all your notes on the blog last nite! thx!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue hours ... but Nadine, it is more than 10 min., in my corner it is about 1 1/2 hour. Think is is more less the same in yours :)
ReplyDeleteand we, Italians, don't have a word for twilight at all!!
ReplyDeleteonly the french would have a word for that moment. I love that 'blue' moment.
