Question Sunset: the green flash as the sun disappears.

Do you hvae to be looking out over the sea, in order to be able to see it? Because I've just watched the sun set from the top of the hill near the French house and am sure I saw it.

Don't think you have to be at sea, just wide flat landscape and the right atmospherics ,

..and the right cocktail of beverages

You'll see a green flash if you drink the stuff mentioned here, plenty more as well methinks.

It certainly is better over the sea. I used to see it regularly from Ascension Island. If you used binoculars you could see the other colours in the spectrum as well, it is just that the green was predominate.
