This title should be self-explanatory

Sunsets are nice too.

Have you ever seen the green flash?  I sure haven't, although some of
my friends in the Western Pacific with a fine view of the sunset,
make a point of watching for it every night--they haven't either.

{Photography.29.3}: Kevin Carr {peddler} Sat, 06 Sep 2003 20:48:58 EDT (1 line)

No, I haven't.  I've seen plenty of northern lights, though.  :]

Nice sunsets, Kevin.

I have spent 57 years living near the Pacific Ocean, 30 of them
living right on water and looking at the sun sink into the sea every
single night. I have to say that I have looked and looked for this
green flash and have never seen it. Not once. I'm convinced it's a
myth.

I saw that in Texas once, but I know a photographer in California
who said he saw it all the time. I think you need to train your eye
somehow.

Green Flashes depend on the amount of humidity in the air.  It is
caused by the filtering out of all the colors of light except the
green due to the fact the air is heavily compressed at sea level, and
happens just as the sun disappears below the horizon.  Being a
sailor, I have seen it hundreds of times and living in the South
Pacific also gives me an advantage as we have days with no clouds..
Many times however, the clouds build on the horizon just as the sun
is dropping and you will not see the flash...

For sure it is not a myth, and physics will tell you that you cannot
see it if you are at higher altitudes as the air is thinner there.

Ken - it sounds like it's cool to be you.

:^)

Beautiful sunsets, Kevin. I especially like the framed sky shot.

Thank you Judy!

Hah!  I finally got back into my old hosting site.  Now I can show
you some of those pics in a form closer to what they actually look
like in my files.

Those geese are pretty neat.

So's the last one.

I like both of those.

The last one looks so natural.  But I've tried a few times and I know
how those colors don't work worth flip when photographed.

Sunset at the mall. Sun ain't quite right, though.

That is fantastic Kai, you live in Minnesota I take it....  I spent
some time back there when I worked for Sperry Univac in the Midway
District between St. Paul and Minneapolis...  Coldest place I have
ever been in my life but great people...

Well, at first I thought "Painted Desert" meant you may have painted
it, but I didn't see any signs of it, Tom. I had never heard of the
Painted Desert before, I guess it was named that way because of its
beautiful colors?

We visited the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert on our way across
Arizona in '95. It lived up to the billing.
