A Beautiful Sunsets, Photos from the USS Kitty Hawk in the South China Sea.

As the sun sets you feel peace and relaxation.

I can remember how beautiful the view was. I wish I could do it all again. There's one interesting about a sunset at sea. I have never seen it myself, and this is one reason that I took this picture, but I've been told by many of old seamen that when the sun just goes down all the way, there is a blue or green flash. Is this true? Can anyone tell me about this? If so, please send me e-mail. I would like to know all about this phenomenon.

1-18-99 I would like everyone to know that there really is a green flash at sunset. Thanks to one of our viewers, Mr. Young, you can see the answer by clicking here. or you can see an excellent photo of this green flash by clicking here.

These green flashes appear to come in two different types. First there's a mock mirage flash then an inferior mirage flash. Click here for a great set of photo's showing both types of flashes.
