ASSIGNMENT
STARRY NIGHT
Mother Nature puts on a spectacular light show , above and below .
A STUNNING BIOLUMINESCENT TIDE returned to the San Diego coastline and the Scripps Pier . The dazzling neon blue glow occurs when high concentrations of phytoplankton L . polyedra are agitated by waves or other motion in the water . The incredible " star trail " capturing the movement of stars across the night sky , was made possible with a stack of 163 photos taken over two hours .
