Xinghai: Blue Hour, Golden Hour

Xinghai Bay in Dalian, in the two quietest hours of the evening

Xinghai Bay faces the sea on the south side of Dalian. In the evening there is first a blue hour, when sky and sea are almost the same color; then the sun sinks behind the towers and the whole bay turns gold. Every photo here was taken in those two windows.
