PURPLE SKY AFTER SUNSET

Location:  Front yard, from driveway, Little Lepreau, NB, Canada.

Date Time:  December 7, 2019 1645-1655hrs.

Weather:  Mostly clear, light breeze, -4C, sky seemed purplish around the western and eastern horizons.

Attendance:  David McCashion

Equipment:  Canon Rebel t3 on tripod with 18-55mm lens.  Image processed on PhotoShop.

Objective:  To capture the purplish hue to the twilight sky.

Report:

Noticed a purplish hue to the evening sky and made an attempt to image it. 

On Spaceweather.com recently seen images from other places around the world that show a  purplish twilight sky.  Apparently it's related to volcanic activity.

I'm not sure which volcano is responsible for the purple, but there is volcanic activity being reported in New Zealand. 

1/200 second, f/5.6, ISO 100, focal length 55mm.  Only processed to add text, besides that image is raw.
