"Algal and cyanobacterial blooms can grow in fresh water, salt water, and brackish water (a mixture of fresh and salt water) around the world, including in water people use for drinking or recreation. Harmful blooms tend to form in warm water with high levels of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus."
This was adjoining a farmyard where these chemical concentrates probably leaked from.

This evaporation pond was recently drained and refilled. I was there two weeks ago when the pumps were running. The water itself is pretty clear and you can see through it to the pond bottom. However, the surface is carrying a large bloom of algae.
The Coyote Hills are visble toward the east near the horizon.
Algae - Trentepohlia aurea v. polycarpa. This microscopic alga thrives on ocean salt spray and forms dense colonies on Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) along the Pacific coast. Despite its color, the species is actually a green alga. The chlorophyll pigment is masked by high levels of beta-carotene, the orange pigment found in carrots. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. Moss Beach, San Mateo Co., Calif.
Another day, another park. The pond in the center of this park was covered in green algae except for this spot with a fountain and two other spots which may also have had less-active fountains under them. Also, mosquitos everywhere. Also, my first seel.

A family of swans that Mrs Odd Bod and I fed during a visit to a local park in Birmingham. We have been going back weekly to see the swans ever since we first noticed mother swan looking after eggs.
Mother swan is just below the babies in this scene but I decided to cut her out since I wanted the little uns to be the focus with the green background.
Did it work?

Algae in Silfra is not plentiful but gives a spash of color on the desolate rocks between the Teutonic plates.
Looked for birds today. There weren't many around. There is so much water in California, the birds have a lot of options for privacy.
Algae gripping to the rocks at Clachan Sands North Uist - taken on the 14th May 2010.
I've experimented in Photoshop by converting the image to monochrome whilst retaining the vivid green lustre of the algae for maximum effect. I'm sure it's an aquired taste but I actually quite like it :-P
Clachan Sands - or more specifically, Traigh Lingeigh beach, is found just below the Berneray causeway and consists of miles of sand. The area is framed by machair, has crystal clear waters and also has a great view of the mountains of Harris in the background.
Algae can be found in Silfra but, as you can see, there is not much of it to trouble visibility during an Algae blossoming.
