Very interesting photos. This sunday, Malene Thomsen came across the rare phenomenon of bioluminescent dinoflagellates in the water near the island of Mors. Dinoflagellates are marine plankton, so they are small, but with enough of them they light up the sea. www.tvmidtvest.dk/morsoe/malen...

There is a bioluminescent bay that you can kayak to in Puerto Rico that is really cool. They don’t give you a lot of time in the bay, but it’s worth it. You can stir up the plankton activating the glow. It glows for a bit, then settles to the bottom to recharge, and cycle continues.

This reminds me of Jamaica's Luminous Lagoon...which I haven't seen in over thirty years, sigh

Why the flagellates in their name?

They have whip-like tiny tails to get about with.

Still one of the coolest things I've ever seen, down in San Diego in summer of 1981.

As a god fearing man, I know they are devils and the end is nigh. Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost told me so and I won’t stop talking about him until everything is released.
