Swimmers in lake turn fluorescent blue due to bioluminescence, Gippsland Lakes, Victoria, Australia - 19 Jan 2011

Out Of The Blue
These swimmers look like they have been playing with radioactive paint as they glow a fluorescent shade of blue.
Photographer Phil Hart, 34, snapped the bizarre sight as his friends emerged from a lake in the dark of night.
The light is created by a chemical reaction called "bioluminescence", which happens when a naturally occurring micro-organism in the water is disturbed.
Phil put his camera on a very slow shutter speed and threw sand and stones into the water to cause the reaction and capture as much of the blue haze as possible.
The resulting images are particularly stunning due to the high concentration of the micro-organism 'Noctiluca Scintillans' at that time in the Gippsland Lakes in Victoria, Australia.
Phil said: "To be there watching this bioluminescence is spellbinding and to see it like this is very rare.
"I am a program director with an organisation that has been running canoeing camps on the Gippsland Lakes for fifty years.
"Nobody can remember a time when the bioluminescence was as bright as it was on this occasion.
"The sequence of bushfires and floods which brought such high levels of nutrients into the lakes for these organisms to feed on may not happen again in my lifetime.
"I feel very fortunate to have been there to see it and to have had my camera gear there to record it."
Phil, from Melbourne, Australia, added: "While the luminescence was obvious to the eye, the bright blue colour is only apparent in photos with the camera.
"When the first photo I took appeared on screen I could hardly believe it - the people in the water looked freakish.
"It was like we were playing with radioactive paint.
"We stayed up late on several nights and never got tired of playing in the water and taking photos."
