What really matters - The fate of local and global ecosystems that support humanity?

Is this issue being discussed by our politicians? Is this another example of "historical silencing?" Read Noam Chomsky article in Alternet.org.

Green Flash photos at Ruby Beach Seastack

This is a picasaweb album of  photos I took that include the Green Flash as the sun was going down at Ruby Beach on the coast of the State of Washington. US. Several photos were captured as the sun went down with a 400 mm lens through an eroded hole in a Seastack rock. Some are cropped to highlight the green flash. I uploaded a few other uncropped and cropped images of the Seastack and the sun with various green flash elements as well.
