The Green Flash

[Weathermon & Mi Lady]

Sure have…January 26, 2019. Watching the sunset at Sun Beach. MiLady must have had the right amount of rum and got a lucky shot. Showed the photo to our artist friend Ras Husmo. A few days later, Ras gave us a special gift, this little painting. It has a special place on our fireplace mantel.

W &ML...great photo and wonderful painting. Now I know wasn't hallucinating when I was startled to see the green flash some years ago from the rocks at Sea Grape. I've only seen it once but I've always looked for it since. I've heard that you only can see it when there are absolutely no clouds between you and the horizon. As the sun hits the perfect angle to your eye the light streams through the top few feet of water like a prism for a split second.

Actually....quite a few times. Always amazing. Weathermon, Great shot....we have a few paintings from Ras also, interesting gentleman.

I've seen all sorts of things flash before my eyes in Negril, and not just at sunset !!

I always thought that those who claimed of seeing the green flash had a nice buzz on. It was probably 20 plus years of going to Negril before I saw it. Now we always watch the sunset, every night if we can, and look for the green flash on a cloudless evening. Mi Lady's photographic acumen is apparent in the above pics. If it were me holding the camera, I would probably drop it in the sand. Anyway, I have seen the green flash several times...."It does exist!". WM
