With all too many of us stuck indoors and only able to enjoy nature’s beauty through a monitor, there’s seemingly been no shortage of tantalizing photos displaying the brilliant sights of the great outdoors, whether it’s the majestic Yosemite being taken back by its animal residents or a sea of brilliant blue flowers.
And now we have the glowing bioluminescent waves of the Pacific Coast.
From the beaches of Acapulco to the coastal shores of Orange County, California, beach-going locals and photographers have been sharing dazzling images of waves lit up with a striking and somewhat eerie neon blue glow.
The natural phenomenon is known as bioluminescence, and is caused by an increase in the dinoflagellate population. The dinoflagellates—which are tiny, swimming plants—include Lingulodinium polyedra, which is responsible for the glowing waves. Dinoflagellates contain enzymes and proteins that create small light flashes.
During the day, the algal bloom appears as a deep-red, rusty tide due to the heavy concentration of small photosynthetic organisms floating up to the surface. When the sun goes down, however, movements such as crashing waves make the organisms display light.
On Monday night, bioluminescent plankton made the Acapulco beach of Puerto Marqués glow for the first time in over 60 years, exiting local residents who even went to splash around and ride their surfboards through the neon blue waters, reports Mexico Desconocido.
By Tuesday, images of the rare display went viral on social media.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
Truth, beauty, and goodness, are regarded in some schools of thought as three supreme values. If one appreciates the fullness of truth, they’ll develop the capacity to see beauty in all things, thereby capable of acting for the good in one’s life. Psychologically, we need to appreciate beauty to ensure a positive life outlook. The mind is designed to reflect reality within, which is then evaluated as good or bad. The animal mind assumes things are “bad” so that it can ensure your survival. The human, spiritualizing mind, has the capacity to see the truth, recognize beauty and appraise all of this as good, thereby creating a node of positivity in your memory. The overall disposition you feel toward life, your mood, and worldview, are informed by the tapestry of evaluations in all life’s situations. Thus, to appreciate beauty improves your world view, it makes you feel better about life in general. It helps you overcome depression, maintain inspiration, and stave off boredom. Combined with the desire to grow and evolve, to become wise, honorable, and an agent for good, the hardships of life become opportunities to bring goodness into the world, though you’re creative deeds. In the act of heeding this supreme calling, you become an agent for good, living a fulfilling life for yourself, while making the world a better place through your increasingly joy-infused acts of compassion, kindness, righteous defense, and truthfully guided ways. The following information reveals some of this power of beauty, discussing the effects of appreciating it or showing you beauty in nature or created by others.
