Beautiful green and blue sunsets flashes

Flickr's user Swizzlestick have an amazing collection of sunsets taken at "La Jolla", CA, that includes green and blue flashes as well.

Check it out!




PS: Incredible how each of the above photos have its own shade!

here is a legend about the green flash at sunset
the person who sees the green flash is about to recieve some money

I wrote a song years ago about the green flash turning out to be a bale of columbian weed...

then while living on a beach I saw a flash of green one evening
then I recieved a pile of money by suprise

so keep an eye out at sunset

The person who took all of these must be rich

This was just photographed for the first time with the Moon too.....

I don't understand. Where are the green flashes? I don't see them...

EDIT: Nevermind. Quite interesting. How could this happen? I know there was an explication for the green moon flashes...But it must be something else with the Sun.

You'll find full explanations here for the green flashes and the blue flashes as well.

Note that, in very very rare cases, a "violet flash" can be seen...

Darn it, it did not work then. I saw the green flash in Donegal some years ago now and am still waiting!!

Flash was good though.
