Here is a video:
Edith Widder: The weird, wonderful world of bioluminescence | Video on TED.com it is about bioluminescence on earth, mentions Avatar and has biolumie creatures that if touched send waves of bioluminescence through their bodies. Sadly mostly rather coarse pictures or vids but stll amazing. And a bit sad, goven that I posted a week ago the news about the worlds oceans dying ...

Here are some pics of where I was recently - Point Reyes. It's a designated national seashore, but in order to get to the shore you have to hike through forest first!
    I happened to be there when it was raining. At first I didn't like the idea of being rained on indefinitely, but after a while I realized that I was getting to see a side of the forest that I would not have otherwise seen. The mists, the fresh scents, and the banana slugs on the ground  all made me glad to be there at that time. It did clear up eventually though, and the sun made it seem like a completely different place. I've got a newfound appreciation for trekking in soaking-wet weather. Oh, and the beach itself is very pretty too.

thank you for the beautiful pics - the fern & moss one looks almost like on Pandora
I like misty & rainy forests, they do have something special - they remind me of the scene when Neytiri drinks from a purple leaf & smiles at the tree, with "Becoming One..." track on the background... here are some more mists:  [IMG]  [/IMG]

Very nice photos
I wish I could go somewhere like that, but it's not really possible for me right now.

Wow - is that a real photo of the sky? Or is it somehow a merge of two. 'Cause to get all those stars on a photo you need a long exposure and a camera that compensates for the movement, right? But then, in Nepal there certainly is no light pollution... Beautiful stars!

Looks real - with a long exposure like that, you need somewhere with no ambient light.
