The last time I shared a photo of the historic Syracuse Savings Bank at Clinton Square it was during blue hour. This building is just as impressive during the golden hour.

As much as I have shown you Clinton Square in Syracuse, New York over the last year, I thought I would show you some of its history. Back in the late 1800’s, the Erie Canal went directly through Clinton Square. Below is a photo from that time period used as an information plaque with what Clinton Square looks like today.

The day photo is nice – but the blue-hour photo was awesome, my favorite!

I am partial to the blue hour one as well. However, one never knows what a client will want so it’s nice to have a quality photo of this area by day, too.

Blue vs. golden hour, I can’t decide which I like best. I do love the warm colors in this set, and great shot of the last image.

I am thinking of doing a print with both the blue and golden hour photos together. Think that would be fun to see them side by side.
