MARLON HOLDEN FINE ART PRESENTS:

“TRIDENTS GATE”

Tridents-Gate-Classic.jpg
An iconic structure with once in a lifetime conditions is either coincidence or luck, but both are certainly fine with me in this case! Scripps pier has been the study of many photographers, yet on this night I had it all to myself as I composed this surreal scene that played out well into the early hours just before dawn. With the ocean putting on a neon blue glow show, each splash bounced about with blue light racing and dancing around creating for one of the most memorable captures that I have ever dropped my shutter on. Tridents Gate represents to me a marvel of our world. Something that may well never occur again in my lifetime and signifies a moment where the most perfect of conditions aligned to create a magical moment in time for us all to enjoy

Bioluminescent Waves is a natural phenomenon that causes the waves to glow neon blue. It's caused by an algae blooms called the "Red Tide." Rarely can you see it along some of the Southern California beaches from as far north as Santa Barbara, Malibu, Venice Beach all the way down to San Diego and Mexico.

By night, the disturbance caused by waves triggers L. poly to generate a pulse of blue light using luciferin, a light-emitting molecule. The magical blue glow is thought to scare organisms that would disturb water trying to consume the phytoplankton, or perhaps attract the attention of something that will eat the phytoplankton predator.

Lasting almost an entire month, the end marks one of the largest phytoplankton, bioluminescent red tides that have happened in the area in about a decade, with the last of this size and magnitude back in October 2011, and one previously in 1995

This particular photo was taken in May 2020 with the recent activity of Bioluminescent waves that caught the interest of many to come and enjoy this rare event.
