are the streets that color from sun or the street lights? really interesting effect.
Streets are lit by street lights and the houses are picking up the color from the dark blue sky as the sun comes up in the background. It's the blue hour effect and the only way to achieve it is to shoot during the hour before sunrise or the after sunset when it casts that shade onto the subject.

So I got up at 3 AM to drive and be at this location to shoot up to and through the sunrise, it's also a good learning experience because it would've been much better shooting after sunset in the evening, because most of these homes will have their lights on and it will add much more to it. That's why I'll be doing it again next week, only with a group because there's safety in numbers, especially during the evenings in the city.
