I've been to Munguba on the Jari river. About 200 miles up the Amazon.
36 years ago when it was the wild west.

What did you “see” there?

The edge of the Sahara desert via Douz, Tunisia.

A misty view of Hong Kong from the Kowloon Peak.

New York from the Empire State Building.

I’ve seen the curvature of the earth with a daylight almost full moon while flying at 38,000 feet above Siberia. Surreal.

[It’s possible that the very slight curvature was due to refractive distortion in the plane window but I don’t think so as I’d not seen that before.]

I have seen dolphins playing on the bow wave of a sailboat.

I have seen the green flash at sunset.

I have seen a blood moon and a blue moon.

I have seen the slums of Haiti, where life is poor, nasty, brutish, and short — where children laugh and play amid rubbish and sewerage.

I have the same three, but I'm guessing you have North and South Atlantic and North and South Pacific as well as Indian??

Seen the green flash a few times but only ever through binoculars

I've seen the Piazza di San Marco empty, except for myself, at 0600.

I'd engaged in an unexpected and pleasurable tryst during Carnevale. But the early morning found me negotiating descent by drain-pipe just after the strict hotel proprietor peaked in the room and scared my partner half-to-death. Who knew that such relations would be frowned upon in Venezia? I remember feeling like an amateur cat burglar.

It was freezing cold and dark. But I found my way soon after coming into the Square. That moment, as a solitary walk in history, will be forever etched in mind.

I was fortunate that the Carabinieri were patrolling elsewhere.
It was a very lucky day, indeed!

The Kandy Esala Perahera.

Pilots have the best chance to see it often.

Some people think it’s an optical illusion, but it’s not. It’s real. There is a red flash as well, but this is even rarer; I’ve not seen it.
