Maui Sunset

Issue #004 - The Hana Coast of Maui, Hawaii

If there are no clouds on the horizon, you might be lucky enough to experience “the green flash.” At the last instant of a sunset, as the sun drops into the sea, bending of the light by the earth’s atmosphere can create a brief, emerald—colored glow on the horizon. Don’t pack up your camera gear as soon as the sun has set. Relax and wait about twenty more minutes for the peak of the color and the best afterglow following a sunset. I have seen the green flash twice but have not been quick enough to capture it.
