The Green Sunset

I saw a  Green Sunset once at Tolcarne Beach in Newquay in Cornwall, UK . One ideal summer evening .The perfect atmospheric conditions caused  a momentary  Green Flash on the Horizon; bright as an Emerald ,just as the Sun dipped into the Ocean. The Flash was a fine jewel to see. Everyone present was in awe. A girl who  had lived in Cornwall  for sixteen years said  it was the first time she had seen “The Green Sunset”. To her,  it had been another Cornish Myth. I’ve  looked since for those ideal conditions, a clear horizon and the sun setting in the ocean…. I feel very lucky to have witnessed it once, I will keep looking on the horizon wherever I travel. The secret is to keep looking.
