The Flying Dutchman ....
Not really, this is the Royal Clipper, and what we see here is a mirage - she can't fly.

This is the craziest photo I've ever taken and probably the craziest I'll ever take.
It is the sun rising behind the alps and over the mountaintops a complex Fata Morgana mirage emerges. In all my years of photographing sunrises I have only seen Fata Morganas three times. The effect is produced by layers of air with different densities refracting the light differently and projecting mirror images of the mountains into the sky which fold back over on themselves multiple times.
Because the mirror images are seen from a slightly lower (or effectively higher) point, you can sometimes see things in mirages that are normally hidden behind the horizon.
And in this very lucky shot the hidden thing made visible is the elusive Green Flash!!! Another rare phenomenon at sunrise or sunset in which the last light of the sun may appear to flicker green.
Both the Green Flash and the mirage are rare on their own, but this combination is almost certainly a once in a lifetime event.
Following this lucky shot I took a video of the rest of the sunrise where you can really see the distortion of the sun by the mirage

5/3 Happy birthday to one of my favorite characters ever, Giselle! ❤️
I included Michel as well since I missed out on his birthday last year (12/31), and it's an excellent opportunity to draw gischel~
