The top photo here is taken with a nikon using a zoom and a filter, while the others are shot with a wide angle lens without a filter and show the lovely blue light at sunset during a snowfall. If you scroll down and compare the pictures below these, you will see the same views again taken without a filter, in yet another different light of day... after a storm with a clear sky and the sun is rather high. All the shrubberies and trees seem to be blooming wet snow blossoms.
