Here's a shot of the Belt of Venus, which is also known as the anti-twilight arch, and the Earth's shadow that I took with my wife's Fujifilm FinePix XP10 digital camera while we were driving to Scranton, Pennsylvania.  For more on this phenomenon, browse http://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/elements/twilight.htm and http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/home/84903812.html
