I Must Be Color Blind

I must be color blind. I have been looking for the green flash for two years now and still haven’t seen one.  For those of you who don’t know what a green flash is, its at the moment when the last bit of sunlight  goes under the horizon, there is supposed to be a green flash that I’m told goes up from where the sun goes down and proceeds across the sky very fast. That is why it is called a flash.  Oh, this only happens when the sun goes down on a clear night, no clouds near the sun.

I was at a restaurant on Friday watching the NCAA basketball tournament and we had such a sunset. I watched it very carefully. I didn’t blink or anything and I still didn’t see a green flash. Other people around me said they saw it but I didn’t. Some of me wants to believe that its like the emperors new clothes and they just say they saw it but really didn’t. Its either that or I’m color blind and can not see a shade of green.

Here are some resent sunsets.
