The 'Blue Hour' is a mostly short period of time direct before sunrise and after sunset. The name 'Blue Hour' comes from the blue colored sky. This characteristic blue is based on the fact that there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness as the sun is below the horizon. Another impression is the mixture of the blue natural and the warm artifically lights.

The 'Golden Hour', sometimes called 'Magic Hour', is a time frame shortly after sunrise and before sunset. The sun is near the horizon and the light, with it's golden color, is very warm. These facts gives photos more structure and an outstanding mood of light.

The duration of this outstanding mood of light varies for both - 'Blue Hour' and 'Golden Hour' - based on the geographic location and the season. The closer to the equatorial area the location the less is the duration.
