Blue Fire – Bioluminescence at Glen Cairn Beach, False Bay

One of nature’s most rare and breathtaking spectacles unfolds on the shores of Glen Cairn Beach as bioluminescent plankton set the waves ablaze in electric blue. The glowing surf crashes and swirls against the dark rocks in the foreground while the warm golden lights of Fish Hoek and the hillside homes shimmer in reflection across the still water to the right. Stars scatter across the night sky above as clouds drift past the moon — a scene so extraordinary it barely seems real. A once-in-a-lifetime capture of False Bay at its most magical, mysterious and utterly unforgettable.
