Cape Town sunset and sunrise set the sky ablaze

Capetonians are some of the luckiest locals in lockdown. The Mother City has continued the habit of treating her residents to memorable and uplifting sunsets and sunrises throughout the lockdown.

Yesterday’s [April 22] sunset and this morning’s [April 23] sunrise proved to be particularly beautiful as residents from across the city shared the breathtaking views from their parts of the Mother City.

Bright tints and tones of orange, pink, purple and red filled the sky as the sun dipped below the horizon yesterday and again when it greeted the new day this morning.

If you didn’t see the glorious show, here are a few pictures and videos from our Cape Town to prove just how stellar it was:

Lockdown day 26: And the sun returned albeit in a supporting role. We still see it setting into the ocean even though today it set into a bank of clouds on the horizon. Stay safe. Next week we should be let out. Please Mr President. ?? #lockdown #sunset #clouds #capetownskies #covi̇d19 #corona

I’m finding connection in the idea that wherever we are, we are seeing the same sun. As I watch it rise and set each day, I will remember that it rises and sets on the people I care about, too. I will let it remind me that I am not alone. #capetown #sunrise
