I took this photo during an evening photography trip in the port city of Rotterdam, it was just the famous blue hour. You can recognise the Erasmus bridge that is also called De Zwaan (The Swan) in this photo, there are also some skyscrapers on it whose names I don't know. Many of the lights in the buildings were on as were the street lights and the lights of the Erasmus Bridge. The lights reflected in the water of the river. The water you see is the river Maas flowing through Rotterdam it is therefore the reason Rotterdam is called the Maas City. Because I used a long shutter speed for this one, my camera was on a tripod, I was photographing myself on a bridge over the river Maas. When I took this photo, there were some clouds present even though you can see the dark blue in the sky, so it was the famous blue hour.
