It was an ordinary day. I was taking photos as the sun was setting in Barbados. Some of the best sunset shots I have ever taken have been taken in Barbados. For years I have been trying to take a photo showing the "Green Flash" which is the instant the sun disappears into the horizon. At times it creates a flash of green light which is nearly impossible to see (read about it in my story titled "The Green Flash" from December of 2009). Well, I have never been successful at taking a photo which included the "Green Flash", but I have close to 100 sunset photos taken since I started using a digital camera. I have included a few of my favorites with comments about a few of them at the end. Here goes ..........Top photo was taken in Antigua from the beach at our resort. Second photo was in St. Thomas on the east end of the island. Third photo was taken in Turks and Caicos as we ate supper. Fourth was taken from Happy Bay while the fifth was in Grand Case. Both are in St. Martin. Sixth photo was taken in St. Croix. This one is the only one which is different in that it was taken at sunrise. The last three were all from Barbados which is the southern most island to which we have traveled. Final pix is of a fisherman getting in the last cast before dark. Sunsets were just gorgeous every evening. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
