  • Two anemones glow under ultraviolet light at low tide in the intertidal zone at Olympic Beach in Edmonds, Washington.  The vibrant colors are the result of fluorescence, a type of photoluminescence, in which certain chemicals absorb light that is invisible to human eyes and emit some of it at a different wavelength that we can see. This scene was captured under black light.
