Cobble Fire: Day 265


In a last minute decision yesterday evening, I hopped on an atv and drove out to Lincoln Bight on the northwest side of the island, in hopes of catching a good sunset and photographing bioluminescence in the waves after dark. There have been reports of a massive algal bloom in the North Pacific and Bering Sea, of the type that typically emit a blue fluorescent glow when agitated, so I figured the time is now. Clouds stifled the sunset colors minutes before the finale, and darkness still takes a while at this latitude, so I canned the idea and went back to bed. I did, however, build a very nice fire on the cobble beach and listened to the surf surge in and out, so it wasn't a total bust.
