Photos of a bioluminescent bloom by Noctiluca scintillans plankton on the Hong Kong seashore last week.
For all its ethereal beauty, the phenomenon, known as ‘sea sparkle’, is caused by pollution (in this case, agricultural runoff) disturbing the dinoflagellate.

Two unPhotoshopped images from The Line – a photobook by Spanish photographer and architecture student Palíndromo Mészaros.
The photos document the aftermath of a 2010 toxic waste spill in Western Hungary, which killed nine people and forced the evacuation of thousands. The material, released from an aluminum factory, has left a permanent mark on the villages in its path.
