Celestial and Aquatic Spectacles Illuminate Oregon/Washington Coast

A Washington coast photographer captured stunning images of the Perseid meteor showers above Kalaloch Beach in Olympic National Park, with glowing waves caused by bioluminescent phytoplankton. The photographer, Matt Nichols, has also captured bioluminescent waves on the Oregon coast and is releasing a calendar featuring these awe-inspiring moments. While the peak of the Perseid meteor showers may have passed, warm conditions on both coasts make it possible to still witness the dual luminosity of meteors and bioluminescence.
