They are truly a sight to behold!
Off the coast of Okayama, Japan are boulders that turn electric blue at night. At first glance, it looks something from a sci-fi movie. When you look closer, you’ll notice the patterns of the blue streaks are just like tears streaming down, which make the rocks look like they are weeping or bleeding. It would be so darn cool if this is really the case, but then the real reason is definitely as cool – them bluish streaks are actually bio-luminescent shrimp!
Photographers Trevor Williams and Jonathan Galione featured the glowing rocks in their picture series The Weeping Stones. The series captured the beauty of the shrimp, which are also called Vargula Hilgendorfii or sea fireflies.
The sea fireflies are not good rock climbers so they had to lure them (using raw bacon) into jars and them poured the creatures all over the boulders by the sea shore.
For instance, one needs to make sure that there are no shards of glass on the beach.
Williams and Galione are not done shooting wonderful pictures in Japan. They plan to go back next fall to shoot bio-luminescent mushrooms in their full glory. You can view the rest of the pictures in the series here.
