Explanation:
At sunset look east not west.
As Earth's dark shadow rises
from the eastern horizon, faint and
subtle colors will appear opposite the setting Sun.
This beautiful evening sea and skyscape records the
reflective scene from a cruise on the well-traveled Alaskan
Inside Passage
in the Pacific Northwest.
Along the horizon the fading sunset gives way to the
the pinkish anti-twilight arch, more poetically known as
the Belt of Venus.
Often
overlooked
at sunset in favor of the brighter western horizon,
the lovely arch is tinted by filtered sunlight backscattered in the
dense atmosphere, hugging the
planet's
rising blue-grey shadow.
