Last week in Tasmania

Over the last week in Tasmania a dinoflagellate bloom by Noctiluca scintillans (also known as sea sparkle) has made for some amazing pictures.

Also known as a red tide during daylight, the bioluminescent algae glows a stunning blue if disturbed at night.

It does look rather otherworldly, doesn't it?

Yep! It does look visually stunning. Kinda like the magic shrooms desktop wallpaper (if I can find it again!) Cool effect! The captcha makes it difficult to post on yer page. I have to switch to Mobile view (I have a tablet), & the flash one is impossible. 'Tis okay, I can handle it!

Anyway, I turned off CAPTCHA (except for the anon commenters); let's see how that turns out. I turned it on a while back when there were frequent spam attacks, and forgot about it.

Oh alright, I understand. That's cool! I have the option to log IP's & if need be, ban users,- from lj.cum/site (you'll find all the links at that site map!)
