On the way home from work last night I wheeled off the freeway in Encinitas and went to Swami's to see if the coast was still being graced with a spectacular neon blue light show in the waves. The bioluminescence is caused by an algae bloom commonly called red tide. The organisms, Lingulodinium polyedrum phytoplankton, illuminate the crashing waves with a sudden flash. In the background are the lights of the San Diego coastline. I've gotta go back out before this phenomenon ends, and shoot more.
