Very nice sunset from the southern coasts of Spain.

[Pedro C. Fernández]

Hi there!

Well, probably you don't know that I am spending two months or so in Salobreña, a little city located in the coastal area of Granada (southern Spain). My house is close to the beach and I can take nice photographs about sunrises and sunsets, when weather conditions are good for that.

Here is an example, with a couple of photos that I took two days ago:

Beautiful. I'm jealous. Wish I lived near a coast with sunsets like that.

No, I haven't, David :( I'm always watchful for this type of phenomena, but I have never seen it.

Very nice!

Very nice...........you look at those, then you look outside in Kansas and wonder how much flights are to Florida or maybe South Padre Island. I like the fifth one down......and the detail of the last one.....

Hope this helps!



And AWSOME Pictures Pedro! What camera are you using therE?

[Kurt Hulst]

Yeah okay I have seen one or two. I might actually have a picture of it but i would have to go and look through hundreds of pictures. So I probably wont look.

Thanks

Green flash. I have looked so many times from the beach (Calif) and have never seen it :/

I know it has something to do with inversion layers (causing different styles of mirage).

There are a lot of photos of it out there. However, THIS I have never seen, a green flash coming from the Moon (?). It was taken somewhere in Japan.

Thanks to all you for your replies :D

Thanks Lisa, probably you can't understand Spanish but, as we say in Spain, one image is better than 1000 words :lol: In "Cazatormentas" (the spanish translation of 'storm-chaser') we are traying to show to the World spanish weather phenomenon.

Bye!

I can't understand a single word of it but I enjoyed the pics.
