the elusive green flash.

rock harbor – 30 may 2018

The “Green Flash”. Is it real? Or is it like the tooth fairy?

I stood there on the beach, alone, but surrounded by like-minded folks. We had all gathered to watch the sun slowly, slowly, then amazingly quickly, fall below the horizon. I overheard family conversations about how the sun isn’t moving but we are racing away (almost made me lose my balance), and about gravity, and about that Green Flash. So I stood there and refused to blink for minutes and didn’t see it.

Doesn’t mean that I won’t be out there on every clear evening to try to catch it … I saw it before, and I want to see it again…
