EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant and captivating photo print, FLPA photographer John Eveson captures a mesmerizing display of eutrophic scum on the waters of Morecambe Bay. The image showcases nature's artistic prowess as it transforms the bay into a canvas of vivid hues and patterns. As winter gives way to spring in Cumbria, England, these nutrient-rich waters become an ideal breeding ground for algae. However, what might initially appear as pollution is actually a fascinating natural phenomenon called eutrophication. This process occurs when excessive nutrients enter the water, causing algal blooms that create stunning visuals like those depicted in this photograph. The Atlantic surface seems to come alive with an explosion of colors - from emerald greens to electric blues - creating a striking contrast against the temperate English coastline. It serves as a reminder that even though pollution can be detrimental to our environment, it can also produce unexpected beauty. Eveson's lens perfectly captures the delicate balance between environmental concerns and aesthetic allure. So next time you find yourself strolling along Morecambe Bay or any coastal area facing similar challenges, take a moment to appreciate nature's ability to turn adversity into art – reminding us all that there is always something extraordinary hidden beneath the surface!
