Photography Artist captures the Red Tide in San Diego

Yesterday I went out surfing and did not think too much of the red algae bloom that turned the water like a brown red.

Then this morning I grabbed my wetsuit hanging in the pitch dark bathroom.  It lit up - I don't care if you believe me or not - but this algae is photo-sensitive.  You can see it in the waves after dark and I saw it in pitch black in the bathroom this morning.

So I had to bring the camera to share what I could of this rare experience.  Enjoy.
