Buffalo Skyline during Blue Hour

Buffalo Skyline during Blue Hour

A beautiful evening with clear skies and the blue hour settling over the city of Buffalo for a few brief minutes. The sky goes darker, the city lights brighten up, and then there is a poitn when it all balances out and looks its best. In the foreground, the Niagara River has just left Lake Erie behind and is heading towards the Grand Island and the Niagara Falls.

On the skyline, three dominant buildings provide context. From the left, the white tower is the Electric Tower at 294 feet and 13 stories.

Almost in the middle is the Art Deco Buffalo City Hall at 378 feet and 32 stories, the second tallest building in Buffalo.

And on the very right the tower of "One HSBC Center", the tallest building in Buffalo, NY at 529 feet, 40 stories.
