@rafinmd Roy, I love your sunrise pictures, and was wondering if you've ever seen the "Green Flash"?  I saw it once at sunset on the ocean, but according to Wikipedia you can also see it at sunrise (a time I rarely see 🙂).   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_flash

I've seen it three times! But never on a cruise ship. My husband and I live on our sailboat, currently sailing around Pacific Mexico, and we often do multi-day passages. The only times I've seen the fabled Green Flash is when we have been far out to sea (at least 50 miles offshore), so no land in sight...and the weather was perfectly clear, with no clouds on the horizon. I've carefully watched so many sunsets at sea (trying not to stare into the sun, of course!) more times than I can count, looking for that flash, and the vast majority of the time I'm disappointed. But three times I got lucky! One time I managed to capture it on video. It's pretty magical!

 

I've seen many sunrises at sea too, but never a Green Flash on one.

Awesome photo.

 

No worries if you posted it before.  My guess is if you posted it last week most on this board would not remember.

So the Washington Post taste tested eight or ten of the most popular brands of vanilla ice cream:

 

Ben and Jerry's came out on top.

 

The Costco store brand (Kirkland) came in second.

 

Blue Bell tied for seventh with Walmart's brand.

 

News you can use!
