OT: Red Tide at La Jolla Shores..

Some pictures of the bioluminescence. Taken today at about 9pm. It should be there for a few more days. Well worth the trip.

(No photoshop was used, it does glow like that)

From Wikipedia:

“Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism as the result of a chemical reaction during which chemical energy is converted to light energy. It is widespread in the marine environment, but rare in terrestrial and especially freshwater environments. Examples include emission of visible light by dinoflagellates, jellyfish, squid, copepods, fireflies, and many other organisms belonging to a wide diversity of taxonomic groups.”

I heard red tide also can be dangerous to surfers can cause certain respitory irritation in some people such as surfers and ocean swimmers who breathe the air close to the surface of the water.

Thanks. Enjoyed those photos.

We all miss San Diego. We remember San Diego seems to have so many family – fun event opportunities like this. I remember going down to the beach once a year to see the red tide. It was amazing!

Now we are up in the Bay Area. It is a rat race up here.
