Blue Hour

The hour before and after sunset is called the blue hour and for photographers the blue hour is the best time of the day to create moody pictures. Everthing, like the fishermen at Kwan Phayao (Phayao Lake), the surounding hills, the water is bathed in a magic, blue light. Phayao is a small city, about 150 kilometers northeast of Chiang Mai, North Thailand and well known for the Kwan Phayao, an artifical lake, created in 1939 to optimize irrigation. The Kwan Phayao has a length of about 6 kilometers and is about 4 kilometers wide. The artificial lake is home for many aquatic plants, fish and birds.
