I did some archeoastronomy on your image. It appears the image was taken in the evening, about an hour after sunset, roughly in mid-August. The image is looking southwest. See screenshot from planetarium sky simulation software (https://stellarium.org/).

I got some help from https://nova.astrometry.net/ which solved the image (astrometry), as can be seen here:

and here:

That gave me the orientation of the image (looking southwest, so I knew that this was an evening twilight shot, not morning)...and I adjusted the date and time in planetarium software until I got to a time of year when twilight was involved.

BTW, one of the best examples of archeoastronomy happened not too far from you:

Stellarium Astronomy Software

Stellarium is a planetarium software that shows exactly what you see when you look up at the stars. It's easy to use, and free.

There is something more going on between the moon and the Earth, and the cause is still unknown.

Archeoastronomy uses the rare times and places of previous total solar eclipses to help us measure history

Mentions of total solar eclipses in ancient history help researchers pinpoint precise dates of notable events.

The Conversation
One entry from my journal back in july 2020: the NeoWise C2020F3 comet observartion from a time when I was just obsessed about archeoastronomy data (I'm still in it, though). Bottom line: "This comet's eliptical trajectory aproaches the Sun each 6800 years.."

New book, just arrived. It looks amazing, nicely produced, beautifully illustrated and incredibly informative even at first glance. At over 400 pages, if you're at all interested in megalithic culture (mostly British) its well worth a look.
