Green flash on a hill
One of these evenings, while waiting for the comet to appear, there was a tiny green flash behind the hills. This specific kind of green flash is a combo of 3 factors: The main factor which is the usual refraction of visible light through the atmosphere, here with the "help" of light passing over the edge of the hill which obscures the red/orange part of the solar disk and the attenuation of blue/violet light in the Earth's atmosphere (thus leaving the green to appear over the red that is gone behind the edge). Taken on 12.10.2024, in Athens, Greece.
