A strong easterly flow advected extremely dry and cold air over The Netherlands. The photograph shown was taken a few minutes after sunset in the opposite direction of the sun. Here you can see the belt of Venus: it is a pink to brownish border separating the dark shadow band of the earth from the sky above it. During sunset, the shadow band rises quicker than the sun sinks below the horizon and gradually smoothens out with the evening sky.
