It takes an uncommon combination of low tide and cloudless skies for these two to meet. Here, morning sunlight illuminates and shines right though the blades of an exposed red alga.

Such rich colours — love the burnt orange look. Backlighting is so much fun to work with. (And the pale green critters? Sea anemones?)
Backlighting…I can’t say I was working with it, but you’ve inspired me, so I’m going to start! The anemones are giant green anemones, Anthopleura xanthogrammica. Thanks!
I’ll be looking for it 🙂
Wow, it’s like nature imitating art. Fantastic photo.
Thanks! It happened by accident. I honestly don’t know what it is, so I was getting shots from all angles. But I agree with you.
Loved this Steve and beautiful photos again!
Glad you like it! Thanks for letting me know.
