Just as the sun sets a green flash is sometimes visible just above the sphere of he sun.
I had never seen this until the nights when I was waiting for comet C/2006 P1 McNaught to set over the city of Perth. On 2 of the 3 nights I viewed the comet I managed to see the green flash, and on the 16th I managed to capture it with this shot.
The green flash only lasts a second or two at the most and does not always occur.
