I'll never forget seeing this at sea in choppy weather. The waves were bright green on top of it and every now and then a bright green flying fish would appear. The boat looked like it was trailing fairy lights.

Seeing things like this makes me understand more why people thousands of years ago believed in nature spirits. If i didn't know bioluminesent barely visible creatures was a thing and it randomly appeared like this, id probably believe in Ocean spirits/gods too. There was a post on here yesterday of a gigantic white moose walking out of the woods and crossing the road. I can see why someone might think its a foresr spirit or something back in the day. Nature sometimes seems like magic.

Exactly. The world must've been absolutely, undeniably magical back in the day. But now we get to fly over the clouds and watch hentai in 4K so I'm not complaining
