The alcohol-soaked Q-Tip makes me worry about setting myself on fire, but it also brought something to mind. People often talk about a "green flash" that occurs at sunset. Can't say I had ever seen it, but now I don't know. I was taking pictures of the sunset on the Pacific Coast at Ventura, California, a couple weeks ago. As the sun was setting, there was a splotch of metallic green around it. The color lingered for a few seconds. So, was that the green flash, or was my eyesight distorted from having looked at the sun?
