    Could you explain this phenomenon from a picture my friend sent from your area today? (red tide? toxic spill?)

    By pure coincidence, I went to a training class a couple weeks ago to become certified to work at a marine observatory right near there. That is likely not "red tide" or a spill, and is very likely to be Noctiluca scintillans, a harmless, very colorful dinoflagellate. It comes in gold and green colors too, and some of the year is all over the place here.

    Just took a shot out the window, looking down into the sound, by the oyster farm. There's a lot of it today:

    Need more light on that back side there, LOL.
    Although I think I like Alan's telescope photo's a little bit more (James Webb telescope). I am intrigued with what we might learn from it.

    I sent Elon a note the other day to see about getting one of my strobes up there, but I haven't heard back yet. Soon though!

    Last night, a bit after midnight, the Northern Lights popped out.

    View from my deck, looking north towards Vancouver BC.

    Bae this latest set of Photos reminds me so much of the work of artist/illustrator Eyvind Earle. Many of his subjects were black trees in the forefront of highly colored evening backgrounds.
