Doug Perrine captured these stunning photographs in the Maldives. The particular location (Vaadhoo Island) has a concentrated population of bioluminescent phytoplankton. Bioluminescence is a natural chemical reaction which occurs when a micro-organism in the water reacts with oxygen. When washed ashore by the tides, the phytoplankton’s chemical energy is turned into light energy, illuminating the waves.
beautifulsky and sea awash with light; the shore dotted with brightnessthat with our bare feet we may walk among the starsit seems we are fated to read glory into all those places where the known meets the unknown--where the crystal shells of the wandering starsmeet the empyrean; where the sand is swallowed by depth and darkness(of course the earth mirrors the sky--don't lovers always taken on one another's quirks?)I will write forever about stars and constellations and the way we reflect ourselves in themphotography

There was an episode, one of my favorite moments in Star Trek, when Captain Kirk looks over the cosmos and says, ‘Somewhere out there someone is saying the three most beautiful words in any language.’ Of course you heart sinks and you think it’s going to be, ‘I love you’ or whatever. He says, ‘Please help me.’ What a philosophically fantastic idea, that vulnerability and need is a beautiful thing.
