Explanation:
Every step caused the sand to light up blue.
That glow was
bioluminescence -- a blue radiance that also lights the surf in this surreal
scene captured in mid-2018 at
Meyer's Creek Beach in
Oregon,
USA.
Volcanic
stacks
dot the foreground sea, while a thin
fog layer scatters light on the horizon.
The rays of light spreading from the
left horizon were created by car headlights on the
Oregon Coast Highway
(US 101),
while the orange light on the right horizon emanates from a fishing boat.
Visible far in the distance is the band of our
Milky Way Galaxy, appearing to rise from a dark rocky outcrop.
Sixteen images were added together to bring up the
background Milky Way and to reduce
noise.
