Basic adjustments in Lightroom CC then S-Curve adjustment layers in Photoshop CC

I have recently been wanting to capture the sunrise from this spot, which sits at roughly 13,000 ft. Black Friday morning I drove out to the trailhead and started hiking to the ridge at 6 am. It's only about a mile but is pretty steep with almost 1,500 feet elevation gain.

Once I got up there I turned around only to see the coolest Belt of Venus I may have ever captured or seen. This atmospheric phenomenon is visible during civil twilight and the "belt" is actually the pinkish band going across the sky. It is caused by the same effect that causes the Lunar Eclipse to turn red, Rayleigh scattering of light from the sun. The more dense parts of the atmosphere (closer to the horizon) reflect back the stronger colors. Then to blow your mind a little more.. the dark band below that is the Earth's shadow cast on the atmosphere!
