Because the night...

Bruxelles - Belgium

There is a special atmosphere in that privileged zone between the end of the day and the beginning of the night, light is over, but not completely, shadows are darker and softer as the curtain of a theatre when the show starts.
Dusk is the stage where night rehearses, before playing its magic until the following morning all over the streets.
We walk at random, there is not any need to choose a direction, the centre of Bruxelles is small and the streets are like a ball of threads which lead always to the same point, sooner or later.

Superb moody shot, perfect timing as far as the sky is concerned.

Your poetic description of dusk is a knockout, and the accompanying photo is a great
illustration of it. Thanks!

In very poetic words you have managed to describe exactly how I've always felt about the magical "blue hour"; dusk is indeed the begining of night's incantations.
