Ocean City New Jersey Later in the Day

Here's some more photos of the day I spent with my brother's family (with dad & Libby + my daughter).

By noon and onward the place starts filling up. The waves also got really strong.

Morning in Ocean City New Jersey

THE best day in New Jersey was the day my baby brother & his family (he's almost 30) took mysef, my daughter, my father, and my step-mother to Ocean City New Jersey.

You can tell it's the morning because there' not as many people on the beach yet...

Ocean City was 1 of the places that was utterly decimated by Hurricane Sandy in 2012... ironically the Goveorner Christie was actually THERE that day, and I literally saw him about a yard and a half from me. He' nowhere near as large as on TV, and he's very polite in person... I'm just not as big of a fan as everyone else is.

Anyways, Ocean City has made a major come-back so naturally the governor is popular there, and he was hosting or judging the local dog show thingy...

I was born in Willingboro, so going to the jersey Shore was a staple in my life until about I was 17 years old... and I've NEVER seen a beach THIS CLEAN in New Jersey EVER! There was ONLY ONE PIECE OF LITTER! THE WHOLE DAY! 

Rehobeth & Lewes Delaware were generally much cleaner, but this eclipses ANYTHING in Delaware!

AND the WATER WAS SOOOOOO CLEAN!!!! CLEAR!!!!
You could see the sand through the water!

My daughter had NEVER been to a real beach, other than the bay-style beaches in Greater Boston which are ice-cold year long and covered with sharp rocks & shell shards. She had also NEVER been to a Boardwalk!

 
See that strangely shaped building in the skyline? (Slanted roof) A local man told me it was a bankrupt casion that was empty, and billions of dollars wasted.

In some of the frames you can see what appears to be some type of luminescent materials.
At first, I thought it was a side-effect of the filters in combination with the electronic components & programming of the camera... Perhaps a side effect of the lens, or the inner workings of the DSLR which work VERY different than analogue, and use it's own internal calculated "algorithms" to filter what the image SHOULD look like.

But, my daughter kept find these rocks that were covered in a GREEN algae-like substance, and kept showing it to me. I was like: Uh-huh, that's nice... it's just some algae with some worm-like organism on it...

But, the things I'm picking up on the equipment SEEM to be showing THROUGH the water, form BENEATH it, and being refracted but the waves.

I was using a UV filter (one of several which I have) with a star cross-hair filter beneath that. So, I thought well it MUST be an optical effect of THAT, right?

But, the phenomena don't occur in ALL the photos, and ONLY in THAT spot.

Also the green glow shows no signs of the STAR effects on them like the glistening of the water ripple highlights.

I HAVE also heard of a type of algae or plankton that use bio-luminescence that can cause the beach to glow at some times of the year. I just never heard of it this far North.

So... is it bio material?

Or, is it a mechanical effect?
