Residents in Edmonton saw a beautiful sunset Monday evening, one that painted the sky a luscious shade of pink.
Local photographers and weather-watchers snapped photos of the colourful sky and clouds, which alternated between pink, salmon, and sherbet-orange. Some even spotted a rainbow in the mix.

I pulled over for the #rainbow along the Anthony Henday and noticed these wild clouds in the #sunset
I’ll mark this storm chase off as a success.

I have never seen a sunset so complex. These photos don’t do it justice. Edmonton, you put on a show tonight. #yegwx pic.twitter.com/MhezKVXpEM
