Fabulous pics, but if that's the green flash then I've been wasting my time
for 40 odd years looking for it.

I'm red/green colour blind and I was expecting a brilliant flash of green
light a split second after the last portion of the suns disk slipped below
the horizon.

I'd never see that in real life.

I've 'seen' it twice in as many weeks now Trevor. I've also not seen
it a couple of times throughout this period too which is a good
control! The first time, the top of the sun had a green arc visible
through a telescope. The image you've just seen on my website was not
visible visually and I'd even taken to telling a number of people who
had gathered around me at the beach that I hadn't got it this time! I
also think that there are different incarnations of the phenomena.
The one where the top of the Sun appears to detach and lingers above
the horizon after sunset is the one I think you are describing.

Pete, I've just been looking at the amazing pictures of the Nebraska
Mammatus linked from your website - absolutely weird, they don't look
real - never seen clouds like that here in Cumbria!
