Description
It's a rare occassion when you can see Mt. Rainier from downtown Seattle, but I was lucky enough to be in Seattle when the sky was clear. This image was taken from atop the Space Needle.
The blue hour comes from the French expression l'heure bleue, which refers to the period of twilight each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day.

Thank you so much, Jenny. When driving, Seattle is about 90 miles from Mt. Rainier.

Wonderful cityscape, and the mountain really makes for a nice punctuation on the depth. Love the description too. f/v
