Christmas bloom
Mahoney Lake hosts one of the most dense populations of Purple Sulphur bacteria found in the world. The bacteria thrive at a depth of ~25' where the temperature, salinity and amount of light create the photosynthetic conditions they enjoy. The 'bloom' was not on a few weeks ago when Mandy and I visited, nor were the lights. Yesterday was a dramatically different story.
The colours brought on a bout of Christmas shopping.
