Our TV half hour...

At about 6 every night, after dinner (boat food mmm yum yum) we sit down for some tea or rooibos. This is the equivalent of our TV time. As you can may have guessed there have been endless sun sets on the trip and each one quite unique. It was in one of these very relaxed moments that I finally saw the green flash that everyone raves about. Its that very ideallic moment when the sun's angle comes down to the horizon and hits the stratosphere. The blue of the stratosphere and the yellow of the sunlight mix to form a green. Its a flash due to the movement of the sun. You can only see it when one can see the horizon, there are no smoky browns (i.e. no air pollution or dust particles) and there are a limited number of clouds in the sky. So pretty chancy stuff but very cool to see. (This is my interpretation by the way, so for all you critics out there, crit away)
