The photographer Alyn Wallace was lucky enough to be able to immortalize the Milky Way and the illuminated sea in one fell swoop bioluminescenza. A truly magical show.





Last week the photographer was in Three Cliffs Bay a Swansea, in Wales when with his lens he captured what he himself defined as 'one of the most incredible experiences of his life'.

“I pinched myself this morning to realize what I had just seen. Everywhere I looked there was the blue sea of bioluminescence illuminated by the Milky Way ”, wrote the photographer on his Facebook profile.

There are wonderful places in the world, made even more magical by the luminescent tides and these images fully capture that atmosphere created by some microscopic organisms called bioluminescent phytoplankton. Some of these organisms form red tides and are toxic to marine life and humans.

An intense, deep and extraordinary color that in some cases is also given by sparkling firefly la microalgae famous for its biolumescence. They react to changes in the acidity of the water at night and emit extraordinary light.

“I've always dreamed of seeing all of this. It's a phenomenon that usually occurs in north Wales, but is rarer to see in the south, ”he explained Wallace.
