| ' Green Flash and Kayaker ' |
I have tried many times to catch the 'Green Flash' as the sun dips below the horizon at to conclude sunset. It requires specific conditions to occur and is a fleeting phenomenon when it does. For those not interested in following the link provided above to research for themselves, it requires a clean, clear, unobstructed horizon, frequently over a large water body. The atmosphere causes a refraction effect and green is the last colour that can be seen, just as the last of the sun's orb drops to the horizon line. In the case of this photo, the distinct cloud line off in the distance over Lake Huron proved enough.
I've mentioned this to others observing sunset with me and some of the looks and reaction I have received are comical. But it is a "thing", explained by science. Captured by others in video and still images ... and now by me (though it was the very beginning of this very brief phenomenon).
