“Whoa, Sky, you’re dazzling tonight!”
“Right back atcha, Ocean!”

The bioluminescent bloom continued last night along the Big Sur coast! Minuscule dinoflagellate plankton fired off their biological fireworks, showing up as blue flashes inside wave crashes in this 30-second exposure.

The incoming swell this weekend may well dissipate this particular planktonpalooza, but for the moment, the ocean’s scintillating supernova of luminous drifters is giving the Milky Way a run for its inspirational money.
