19 amazing photos of Friday's fiery Vancouver sunset

In case you didn’t look towards the western horizon on Friday evening, as the sun began to set the skies were ablaze with a mix of fiery colours.

It was quite possibly the most spectacular sunset of the summer to date, perhaps marking the calm before the consecutive rainstorms to come. The sunset occurred as an unstable air mass began to push its way through the South Coast.

Here are the 19 best Instagram photos of last night’s Vancouver sunset that used the hashtag #VancityBuzz:

— Back 2 Back — like Tulow and JD against the Tigers tonight, back to back homeruns! Snapped this 30 seconds after walking in the door. Wish I had gotten home 10 mins sooner. #englishbay #vancity #stanleypark #sunset #canon #wideangle #vancouver #vancitybuzz #westcoastbestcoast #exploreBC #beautifulBC #seawall #firstbeach #secondbeach #clouds #jays #bluejays

3 minutes to sprint to the beach, 2 minutes of snaps before sundown, 1 hour to boot up my slow-as-molasses laptop and download the moment for Instagram. Anything but “instant” so here’s what happened an hour ago #NoFilter #SunsetPorn #iLoveItHere #VeryVancouver #VancityHype #VanCityBuzz #WestEnd #Vancouver #RedSkysAtNight #sonynex #Gotd_910 #Orange

Good morning!!! Had a shoot downtown last night and finished up just as the sun was setting. PSA: always make you dinner reservations *well after* sunset.. because you might miss this!

Probably the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen in my life. The sun had just set, and a beam of light was shooting up into the sky! A picture with my iphone does no justice to what I saw tonight.
