Details:
Yesterday`s evening twilight was more colorful than normal, starting with a nice display of prominent crepuscular rays. Initially bright yellow colored (photos 1 and 3, taken at 20:51 UT), they reddened and subsided (second photo, taken at 20:59 UT), further approaching the horizon as they gradually vanished (last photo, taken at 21:02 UT, that comprises the area where I would spot Mercury 7 minutes later: http://spaceweathergallery.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=124528).
I used a Canon PowerShot SX60 HS camera for the shots.
