GREEN FLASH!
Can you see the green blob of light just above the Sun? That's the famous Green Flash, and it is very hard to see; I was looking for it and I couldn't see it with naked eye. But then, my eyes are wretched. Our friend Arnold Sikkema saw it, though, in the second (literally) before the sun dipped below the horizon.
If you want to learn more about green flashes and other very cool and beautiful atmospheric effects, go to Les Cowley's website "Atmospheric Optics."
Frankly, I thought I had no chance to see this phenomenon. The timing had to be perfect.
But, praise be to God, it was!
Sometimes things go your way. Sometimes they don't. Usually I kick myself for photographic opportunities lost. This time it went right, because God used my preparedness to capture this photo.
