Vancouverities were privy to an awe-inspiring sunrise on Monday, January 28, as vibrant hues of red, yellow, orange, and pink painted the sky.

What's more, the city was treated to another spectacular display at sunset, as the billowing clouds were illuminated with a delicate peachy-pink hue. While they looked like cotton candy for a while, as the sunset progressed they took on more vibrant hues of red and orange.
