SYDNEY -- Aussies love their sunrise photos, sunset snaps and beach shots -- anything that says: My world is better than your world. But overnight, things stepped up a level.
From Monday evening to Tuesday morning, there was a stunning red colour creeping across the heavens. Amateur photographers came out in force to take the sky snap to end all sky snaps.
The intense battle between the sunrise crew and the sunset lovers kicked off. Who wore it better?

This is the best sunset picture cause it makes Sydney Harbour look like a hellscape. No filter via @RalucaChiriac pic.twitter.com/Jqw1IoVk43— Mark Di Stefano (@MarkDiStef) July 28, 2014
