Went back to my home town last August in time of
Silliman University's Founders Week Celebration and my birthday which happens to be
Silliman's Founders Day. It is totally hard to plan anything out of town when you're actually home because the laid back charm of Dumaguete is very inviting. So, I wasn't able to go to places or towns near
Dumaguete and will update my blog soon. Soon. *winks*
But for now, I'm sharing something special to me. And yes, it is about the magic hour of the day which is also known by some as "blue hour." Taken this shot from a new hotel in this little city a day before my name day. While I was up there seeing the small city from a different perspective, it made my heart melt for it was just truly beautiful.
Follow my passion to learn more about blue hour here.

Thank you! :D
Wow! Stunning photo. Bro, Happy Birthday sa iyo,
stunning photos, O.o! I knew a few fellows from here who studies in Siliman. I wish to visit the place someday! :D
haha. and the title of your blog .. it's a thumbs up!
This really a great photo, enchanting yung blue background in contrast to the city lights =)
It's always nice seeing your photos. There's a perfect mix of the light and the busy city at night.
Dumagueste's beautiful night scene... nice picture!
you didn't mention in your post why it's called the "blue hour"... it's not important really, just curious...
Magic Blue Hour from a place cool and relaxing.
I've yet to experience my own kind of 'blue hour'. I might just watch out for it on my next trip. :) Lovely photo by the way.. the contrasts are exquisite.
So surreal, I can't ever perfect night trail shot, much more adding a good contrast blue colour.
Great Photo Elal!
The photo is simply stunning, Ganda! been to Dumaguete many times and true this is the city of gentle people!
Did that actually happen or is it edited? it's impressive eh.
I was initially wondering what's up with calling it 'blue' - until I saw the photo. Great skyline to commute under! In Manila, it would be 'gray' and 'black' haha!
good thing this not related with the book of 50 shades... :) and instead something that resonates 'blue'.....
I really really like the last photo. Very eye-catching! Nice. :)
love this photo! haven't been to Dumaguete yet.. haven't been to a lot of places in the Phils.. about time to travel eh?
I miss my camera. :( I love photography too, I love your shots by the way, hope to get a new camera soon so I can capture shots like these too.
liked your foto, it got lots of likers, indeed dreamy and inspiring may you be blessed with the wonders of blue...
