26 photos of the fiery sunrise that rose over Toronto this morning

Early birds already know it — a fierce, fiery sunrise rose over Toronto this morning.

As our sky’s big fireball got higher and higher, the colours above the city evolved from red to orange to pink to purple, and the sight was absolutely mesmerizing.

If you were still catching ZZZs while the natural phenomenon occurred, don’t fret. The Tweeters and Instagrammers of the city have got your back.

Here’s a look at what you missed out on while you were still under the covers:
