I arrived in Negril about an hour before sunset. I quickly unpacked then walked across the street to a bar that hangs off the cliff called Rick's Cafe. The view of the ocean sunset from the cliff was definitely the highlight of my day.
When I moved to San Francisco someone told me a about the phenomenon of the green flash at sunset. On hearing the story I envisioned the horizon flickering green at the moment the sun disappeared. I've been looking for the green flash ever since. Well, on 12/24/2011 my quest ended. As the sun sunk below the horizon I saw the green flash. Turns out it is a brief flicker that appears right as the last sliver of the sun slips into someone else's sunrise. It is such a brief moment that I feel I've been training my entire professional career for this chance. Honestly, my eye registers it as a digital hit. Now my new quest is to get a photo of this illusive event.
