Click on a thumbnail image to see a larger view and description The Green Flash is an phenomenon seen at sunset and sunrise, when the top edge of the sun suddenly change color, turn from yellow or orange to green or rarely blue. I've seen the Green Flash for the first time several years ago, during a summer trip around the Lofoten and Vesteralen islands at the north of Norway. I visually caught the flash while I was shooting some photograph exposures of the midnight sun. I observed a green flash for two or three seconds, it was memorable and wonderful moment, but unfortunately I did'nt register the flash on the film. After that moment every sunset reminds me of that emotion. |
