Very nice sunset from the southern coasts of Spain.

Hi there!

Well, probably you don't know that I am spending two months or so in Salobreña, a little city located in the coastal area of Granada (southern Spain). My house is close to the beach and I can take nice photographs about sunrises and sunsets, when weather conditions are good for that.

Here is an example, with a couple of photos that I took two days ago:

Enjoy!

No, I haven't, David I'm always watchful for this type of phenomena, but I have never seen it.

Very nice!

Very nice...........you look at those, then you look outside in Kansas and wonder how much flights are to Florida or maybe South Padre Island. I like the fifth one down......and the detail of the last one.....

[Kurt Hulst]

Yeah okay I have seen one or two. I might actually have a picture of it but i would have to go and look through hundreds of pictures. So I probably wont look.

Thanks

Green flash. I have looked so many times from the beach (Calif) and have never seen it :/

I know it has something to do with inversion layers (causing different styles of mirage).

There are a lot of photos of it out there. However, THIS I have never seen, a green flash coming from the Moon (?). It was taken somewhere in Japan.

Thanks to all you for your replies

Thanks Lisa, probably you can't understand Spanish but, as we say in Spain, one image is better than 1000 words :lol: In "Cazatormentas" (the spanish translation of 'storm-chaser') we are traying to show to the World spanish weather phenomenon.

Bye!
