Cape Town sunrise and sunset leave residents in awe

Capetonians can bank on seeing an incredible sunrise or sunset at least once a week. When we get to see both a sunrise and sunset that leaves us stunned, however, it is always special.

Lockdown means that Cape Town is a lot more quiet than usual as its residents remain indoors, but this does not mean the city stops being so beautiful.

Some days it’s all rose-tinted glasses and clear skies and everything is dandy. The next it feels like the entire universe is collapsing and I can’t shake the feeling that everything is fucked and cannot be unfucked. Then there are days where beautiful realizations, panic attacks and sobbing in tears exist in the same 24 hours. This is the strangest time to be alive. I’m grateful for the good days. . . . . . . #isolation #quarentine #feelings #whenwillitend #covid19 #coviddiaries #coronavirus #corona2020 #pandemic #rose-tintedglasses #lifeisweird #newhorizons #newnormal #grateful #capetown #capetownsunset #falsebay #simonstown #cloudporn #skyshow

Some early morning sunrise magic! Enjoying my little bit of freedom in the mornings! • Helping me to feel re-inspired! • • And some exciting news, I can finally move my studio that has been in my dining room for the past 2 years to my very own studio space! It is just another room in my home but I cannot wait to have a space that is all mine, where I can continue to grow my little business! • • Watch this space as I’ll be posting some new studio pics soon! Yay! • #resinjewellery #resinpendant #resinart #capetownartist #capetownflowers #capetownsunrise #secretcapetown #6to9 #freedom #sunrise #capetownmagic #littlepieceofheaven #sliceoflife #beauty #inspiration #handmade #artisanjewellery #uniquejewellery #madeinthecape #localislekker #resincraft #madewithlove #beautywithoutcruelty #photooftheday #shoplocal
