My horrible struggles continue; I've been forced to change my base of operations to Waikiki, where I will be subjected to sunsets like this on a daily basis:

Speaking of sunsets, I was just talking with Ben and Kate about green flashes and how none of us had ever seen one. Well, I've been trying to take a picture of one for a long long time. Ladies and gentlemen, I present for your viewing pleasure... a very poor picture of a green flash:

Aside from cropping, this picture hasn't been altered at all and is at 100% zoom (hence the grain). My point-and-shoot isn't very good at focusing on a small bright point on a dark background, nor did I have control over the shutter speed to get the flash less blown out. But I assure you it was quite green to the eye. They do exist, Colson!

No one around me on the beach seemed to recognize the novelty of this. Maybe it's old hat around here.
