Here is the best sunsets and sunrises of 2019, so far:

Abendrot. This lesser known noun refers to the red colour of the sky whilst the sun is setting. What better way to marvel at a sunset than from Atlantic Beach Estate? #AtlanticBeachEstate #sunset #sunsetpalette #picturesque #capetownsunsets #melkbosstrand

I highly recommend heading out for sunsets and sunrises in all conditions. So often it’s the conditions that look hopeless that result in the most dramatic of images. Grab your friends and head out and take it all in. In this case I called my mission buddy @slkaye who is always up for an adventure. I am currently living island life in Madagascar. Have a great weekend!!! Wait…what day is it today??…
