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.

As a prelude to the evening, the sky adopted a bright yellow hue, marking the end of an eventful June.

Pretty soon, bluish-purple clouds covered the skyline. From a good vantage point, one would have been able to witness the clash of the bright yellow and cobalt blue horizon.
