Nothing beats Cape Town sunsets

It seems the Mother City never runs out of amazingly-beautiful sunsets that take our breath away, ones that make us stop for a moment amid the busyness of our day to simply take in the view.

Yesterday many Capetonians were doing just that as the sky lit up with incredible oranges, pinks and blues that left us speechless. Here are some of our favourite snaps by locals of the evening show.

Yesterday’s sunset was incredible! The rocks at Blouberg always offer up fun compositions to work with. If it weren’t for Robben Island in the distance, I wouldn’t have guessed the location. Or perhaps I should’ve edited Table Mountain in there? ? Never! ? Sidenote : Finally, I broke that damn sunset curse! ?? Thanks for the mission @gerhardmyburgh ??
