Thank you, guys.
We had our fair share of winter storms this year. When I stopped counting them, at 10, last year at the same date we only had had 4. This one did not count as a storm though :)

This is a rare capture, Bruno!  Fabulous!

Technically, you're correct, Fons but I'm not sure about Frank's aliens :)

Thanks Akira. I have a very good spot with almost ideal conditions to see it, when the weather is right.

  I have had my share of sunsets but have never seen the green light...and I look for it!

   Thank you for sharing

With a clear horizon and the sun setting over the sea, it happens regularly.

Maybe heat waves of a too warm sea blur it too much. I don’t know as where I am, the sun sets over the coast of UK in summer, so no green flash possible. This was probably my last sighting before October.

If the weather in the Opal Coast was a bit more predictable, I could set up a Green Flash NG meeting but alas, there is no reliable weather pattern there in Spring and Fall.

The CV f/1.0 lens seems to be a tool you have been needing for a while. You are getting lovely results with it.
