At Point Reyes National Seashore. Although it contains green chlorophyll, red pigments dominate and act as a sunscreen. Algae such as these need no soil.
Here is a picture of a salt marsh among the hundred which are present on the Island of Ré. I took this picture because I was really fascinated by some colorful ponds.
I was told by a specialist that when the amount of salt in a pond is light, it turns green because the green alga into the pond is then predominant. When the amount of salt increases, then the dunaliella salina algae produces a shade from pink to red.
In the SF Botanical Gardens there's a pond with a thick bright lime surface that's thick as pudding with a few sticks poking through.
Once the fall monsoons ramp up and scour the footprints of cows and Labor Day campers, I'll head back up to one of my favorite spots where every few years, the water levels in the lake are low enough to venture out onto the mud flats. I've only witnessed twice the algae that stretches between mud cracks, dried weeds, and rocks. It's space alien green and covers everything with a furry skin.
High up on an Exmoor hill the trees along this part of the road are covered in moss and algae. This could possibly from being in cloud much of the time
Momma makes sure her children eat their greens. The sound of baby coots is a real pacifier for me :)

In spring and summer, the ocean returns much of the sand that was washed away from beaches during winter storm surf, with results such as this.
This is one of the Red Algae.
This is a photo that I took while canoeing of some sinister looking algae growing on the bottom of the river, and the reflection of my hand holding the camera.

ODC-Bridge Over Troubled Waters
I used the photo below as my template to create this in DDG-Text-2. Green Water is troubled water and we have it here in the summer in Cayuga Lake. It's full of Algae Bloom and dangerous to swim in. It can cause some nasty skin rashes. Much of it occurs from the fertilizer that people put on their fields and lawns. It runs downhill into the lake since it's in a deep valley.

The sun was shining on this seaweed making it a lovely rich colour, which caught my eye as I walking along the beach
Salar de Tara may be in the desert, located at over 4300 m altitude, it is also home to many birds, and flamingos in first place. (Atacama, Chile)
One of the Red Algae, this species has new, cup shaped growth each winter that would eventually replace the older blade below it. This tattered one and many others even more torn were found in the beach wrack,

When I express interest in a seaweed, people often ask if it is edible. In this case, probably not, but I have just read, "Extracts from this seaweed have been shown to inhibit several viruses." [You never know!]--Mondragon & Mondragon, Seaweeds of the Pacific Coast
Seen at about a 0.5 ft. tide (meaning that the foreground is underwater much of the time).

Like on the foreground rocks at left, there is much pink on the lower walls of the cave--encrusting coralline algae--quite an exquisite wall color. Previous photos at the same cave:
