This blog has become a sort of personal-cum-public diary. As for its contents, some are meant for me and my friends and relatives; others are for the public. This blog will have only positive, ennobling, elevating, encouraging and uplifting thoughts/ideas/materials. Whoever visits should feel happy and should be able to pick up some good ideas/thoughts/links. In short, "NOTHING NEGATIVE" is my motto.(Grateful thanks to Jon Sullivan and Public-Domain-Photos.com for the background photo)

Environment-14: "Green Sunsets and Blue Moon!"

In 1883, the explosion of the volcano Krakatoa released so much dust into the earth's atmosphere that sunsets appeared green and the moon appeared blue for almost two years!
