The blue hour on the Saale at the Peißnitzinsel, just before the Piratenschiff playground: bare winter trees and the silhouettes of apartment high-rises stand against the deep blue twilight sky, while a narrow orange strip on the horizon betrays the final minutes of sunset. The mirror-smooth water surface doubles the entire scene — trees, buildings, and sky appear in perfect symmetry. A thin layer of ice shimmers on the right bank. Captured at 1/60s and ISO 320 in the last minutes of daylight.
