I remember seeing my first green flash back in the 1980's and every opportunity I have I watch for it. Because this are meteorological optical phenomena is so rare I have seen less than 10 in my life. For the past 30 years I usually have my camera poised and ready.

This photograph was a first photo for me.

Wiki:
"Green flash occurs because the atmosphere causes the light from the Sun to separate, or refract, into different frequencies. Green flashes are enhanced by mirages, which increase refraction. A green flash is more likely to be seen in stable, clear air, when more of the light from the setting sun reaches the observer without being scattered."
