bioluminescent First time ever spotted in Egypt
I am always happy to share my photos with you, this time with a photo taken for the first time from the sky of Egypt and it is the phenomenon of bioluminescence I was filming a time lapse of the movement of the arm of the galaxy from one of the largest lakes in the desert of Egypt, Lake Rayan Lower, when I found some lights glittering on the shore of the lake, and when I asked some fishermen in the lake they told me that they are jellyfish, in the first night the glitter was weak so I decided to go to shoot the second night and I was lucky to photograph this phenomenon all night. And when I asked a friend of mine who is a scientist in microbiology, he told me that they are bacteria and that this is the first time they are detected and photographed from Egypt, soon he will do a scientific research on this phenomenon and especially that Lake Rayan is not considered salt water and he will try to discover the source of these bacteria after I brought him a sample of water from this lake that contains these bacteria.
Bioluminescence is a fascinating phenomenon that occurs when living organisms produce light through chemical reactions in their bodies. Bioluminescence can be seen in many different types of creatures, such as fireflies, plankton, fungi, fish, bacteria, and jellies. Bioluminescence can create stunning visual effects that seem almost magical, such as glowing waves, sparkling caves, and shimmering forests.
Lake rayen
Lake Rayan is a natural lake in the Wadi El Rayan National Park, a protected area in the Faiyum Governorate of Egypt. The lake was formed by agricultural drainage water that was diverted into the Wadi El Rayan depression in the 1970s. The lake has two parts: an upper lake and a lower lake, connected by a series of waterfalls that are considered to be the largest in Egypt. The lake is home to various wildlife, such as birds, fish, and gazelles. The lake also attracts many visitors who enjoy camping, hiking, sandboarding, and swimming.
