Crimson Twilight Illuminates Singapore Skies On 30 Jun
The past quarter has been a series of ups and downs due to the evolving Covid-19 situation. Yet, the gradual easing of restrictions and this recent crimson twilight make us believe that these tough times will pass.
On Wed (30 Jun), Singapore residents witnessed a spectacular sunset with a beautiful blend of orange, scarlet, and bluish-purple hues.
Times may be hard but this crimson sunset offered a spectacular finale to this turbulent quarter.
Crimson twilight changes colours in 10 minutes
An MS News reader shared pictures of a stunning sunset that dramatically changed within 10 minutes. Images were taken from Lavender, looking west towards the high risers of Farrer Park and Balestier.
The phenomenon began with scarlet and orange clouds which announced the beginning of dusk. In contrast, skies further away from the sun had bluish and purple hues.

At Bedok Reservoir, another resident stumbled upon this iridescent horizon mirrored across the clear waters.
As the sun dipped further, the gorgeous landscape was engulfed in golden and crimson light.
Meanwhile, folks over at Marina Bay Sands stopped and stared at the pastel pink clouds around our iconic landmarks.
Hopefully a sign of better days ahead
