Bioluminescence: Photographer s five-year wait to capture blue sea glow
Bioluminescence: Photographer s five-year wait to capture blue sea glow
Close
A Welsh photographer has said he was left euphoric after five years waiting to capture pictures of waves glowing with bioluminescence.
Bioluminescence is the light that some living creatures, such as plankton, emit from their cells.
Gareth Mon Jones, from Llangefni on Anglesey, was one of several photographers to snap the dazzling display at Penmon Point beach on 19 June. It was like someone shining a torch from depths of the water onto the breaking waves, he said.

I love watching dramatic weather move across the landscape. Whilst I observe and enjoy, photographing it is a passion of mine.
Fortunately it isnât just seasonal either, as our weather presents opportunities all year. Iâm not advocating thst you venture out into the eye of a storm but on days when it is very changeable.
