These were taken Friday night, the night of the most amazing green orb and flash.

The one below was taken shortly after the green orb sank into the horizon with a flash of bright green. You have to take my word on that, no photograph in time.

  • I have a photo from my location that is nearly identical to your bottom one! I love it, because to me, the clouds look like a greyhound dog race :)
    I wonder if Gary Koeple(sp?) saw it or has seen this photo- reminded me of his book: "Hare Hound" (I'm pretty sure that's the title; have it at home so now want to check the title lol Good book if you've not read it.

  • The proverbial Green Flash at Sunset. Elusive...but real. I have only experienced the Flash twice in my time. Beautiful.
