Blue Hour: Plymouth Barbican + Have a Romantic Weekend!




























The old harbour sparkles at sunset as night descends over Plymouth Barbican. While in Plymouth nothing had brought me so much pleasure than walking around and taking pictures of the old harbour area of Plymouth, Devon, England...
marvelling (marveling) at the tranquility and the stars above.
It wasn't nighttime, but the view was still magical and romantic.
May night had fallen soft and warm, enwrapping with its grape-bloom colour and its scents the billion caprices, intrigues, passions, longings, and the regrets of men and women.

John Galsworthy, The Forsyte Saga.

Hope you have a happy weekend, my lovelies! xx

Plus a Cut and Dry post about Plymouth Barbican  and Barbican photos you may have missed.

    Dearest Betty, your photos are just magical! I love the way the light plays with all the brilliant colors. What a feast of a post! I usually attribute the beauty of photos to how much pleasure the one who shot them was having doing so! ;-)

    I wish you a beautiful weekend, filled with joy!

    Such beautiful images, I always find the sea romantic and especially so when it is stormy and the waves are crashing over the rocks. Have a great weekend Betty.

    You skillfully captured the romance in these landscapes, Betty. We're going to be looking at a different scene here this weekend, though. Things will be exceptionally cold and snowy in the Chicago area. So, for the next couple of days, the most pleasant thought for me, will be looking at a nice mug of hot cocoa.

    Bellas imágenes tomadas en esas hora "azul" donde ese equilibrio entre la escasa luz natural que queda y la luz artificial le dan mucha visualidad a las fotos.
