Here, at this time of the year, there is 16 hours of daylight and the sun sets around 10pm – I suppose that this is the "glass half full" time of year.  In a few months, daylight dwindles to around 8 hours, it will get much colder and rain more than it does now…ahem…which is pretty much daily now.   Ok, so good news – I have a bit more time before that happens so best to take advantage and build up vitamin D stores.

Anyway, I digress.  Back to what this post is about…the blue light of Galway…

I had a few of those perfect moments last night – where all the non planned events and distractions (you know, the things I bitch and complain about) –  somehow conspired in a fantastic way; allowing me to be in a place, at a time, with a camera, and witness something amazing.  A little bit of magic happened with the various sources of light…

These pictures were taken around 11:15 pm on a walk back from town.  They are in time sequence so the last one is a good demonstration of how the camera was struggling toward the end ( a lot more grainy).
