Did you see the green flash that is reported to happen as the top of the
sun goes below the horizon? I have looked but never seen it.


No, but I was looking :-) Only in pictures have I seen that!


I've seen it three times.

Twice from a beach near my younger daughter's place near Lahaina, Maui.

Once on Hwy 152 about 20 miles west of Los Banos, CA, southeast of San
Jose.

All three times under clear, non-cloudy skies, with very little haze.
