This is a photo of a green flash detaching from the rising solar disk. In the foreground we see the ancient temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion,
Greece. Capture was done more than a mile away from the temple, that's why the sun looks so large. It is a Mock Mirage
type of green flash, caused by atmospheric temperature inversion.
