The Green Flash Picture I Missed...

I was reviewing my pictures of sunset from last week and found a hidden gem. Normally green flashes occur right at sunset. Therefore, I missed this one which was taken well before sunset. I cropped it to give us the best view of the flash. Click the image for the full size version.


Just goes to show, you can see green flashes much earlier than most people think!

I know I'm going to burn out what's left of my eyes looking for one of those the next time I see a sunset.
