Colors of the sky at dusk

It was a very nostalgic? sky on Thursday.
I pick up my new camera and went to the top of a hill near the house.

I've never seen this color of the sky in Japan and I guess it's more typical in high-latitude areas.
It is very impressive, although we have a very strong red sky typical in Summer.

It's a nice scene for practicing of photographing.
