About this image

Mike Frost's entertaining talk about the 'Green Flash' at the Orkney meeting reminded me that I had captured an image of the phenomenon during the TravelQuest 2006 Solar Eclipse trip. Looking back through my image archives I found the event was captured on video from the Hotel Corinthia Bab Africa in Tripoli. This image is a frame from the video.
