Our wonderful neighbours, Col and Jacqui, rang us one evening shortly after we returned home from our wedding to make sure we didn't miss the phenomenon of bioluminescence in the waves of Great Oyster Bay.
It was an overcast night, and while Schouten Beach is just metres away there was little light to see by, which made for poor photos but a spectacular effect as the waves broke in vivid fluorescent green. The spectacle was moving, and a wonderful wedding present.
If you haven't come across it before, the wikipedia article is worth a read, but you have to see it in person to appreciate it fully. There is a nice clear picture of the phenomenon too. In our photo, you can just see the lights of Coles Bay in the background. The rest of the light and colour was in the waves. Another photography lesson learnt too - take a torch so you can manually focus based just on distance.
A magical memory from our honeymoon!

dude, your photo is just like a fuzzy blue blobby line. it's not that spectacular, seriously.
Ah, you're not seeing the potential! Imagine what it would've looked like if you were There!
