Serenity painted in Twilight

Crescent Moon at 11% illumination tonight from the western horizon of Lahore after a heavy spell of torrential rainfall. The sky was filled with fog and clouds but as soon as the sun set it cleared up with a few high clouds creating one of the most beautiful Rayleigh scattering of sunlight with shades of twilight across the background blue skies. Luckily the crescent was perfectly placed right at the spot where the scattering was strongest and I was able to capture such serenity in frame.
