Figure 2 July 27, 1996, approx. 1730H
Ashfall. Picture taken from Old Towne looking south. Under the ash
cloud is Plymouth. The hillside is known as Garibaldi Hill The cloud of
ash produced a directional light such as one would experience during a
solar eclipse. The bright colours of the tropics contrasted by the
backdrop of black and gray ash . The light became very directional and
hastened the short twilight of the tropics. (Photo and caption © Gary Sego)
