I lightened the sky in post processing with Photoshop curves to bring out the blue.

The unadjusted sky, though blue, was so dark to the point of almost being
black.

Shot with a wide angle lens (Nikon 12-24mm, f4) at 18mm, f5 for 9 seconds.
Aperture priority and matrix metering.  

As with all low light photography, I mounted the camera on a tripod, used a cable 
release and mirror lockup.

Bracketed the shots and chose the exposure that I like the best.  

Adjusted the white balance with Adobe Camera Raw processor to 4600K. 

Shot during the blue hour.
