Sitges at the blue hour, a photo from Barcelona, Cataluña

Photographer's Note

Sitges, Catalonia, Spain is a small city about 35 kilometres southwest of Barcelona renowned worldwide for its Film Festival and Carnival. Between the hills and the sea, it is known for its much-frequented beaches, nightspots, and historical sites.

While the roots of Sitges' artsy reputation date back to the late 19th century, when Catalan painter Santiago Rusiñol took up residence there during the summer, the town in the 1960s became a centre for the counterculture on the mainland of Spain (then still under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco), and became known as a sort of "Ibiza in miniature".

Hello Mauricio.
Very nice composition in the blue hour, I like the contrast of white on boats with the rest in blue, the absence of people conveys a sense of peace and tranquility in the harbor.
Well done. Best regards.
Luis.

Ola Mauricio,
lovely nocturne shot taken the most beautiful hour of the day,the blue hour.The coexistence of the wooden jetty creates depth in the scene and the existence of the moon an aesthetic and romantic sensation.
