B is for Blue Hour

What is the blue hour?
Is it the hour most conducive for watching blue films and what is so special about this time of the day?
According to wikipedia, “the blue hour comes from a French expression (l’heure bleue), which refers to twilight, the period 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 (also in photography; it is considered especially flattering for people with blond hair) and because in the summer, this is often when the smell of the flowers is at their strongest.”
Depending on how you wish to see it, it could be the best time of the day to do certain stuff, including but not limited to, watching blue movies, making out, walk on the beach, etc.
But for the purpose of my discussion today, the Blu Hour is the short time frame of each day that you can take photographs of the sky and get a nice bluish tint to it. Something like this here from mice007.hu :-
