L This image has a beautiful contrast between the rocks and the foam in the water. I wonder what caused these soap bubble like foam. It doe not look natural. It is a lovely image anyway!
Olga Hamilton replied:
Thank you, Linda! Sea foam or beach foam is created by the agitation of seawater, particularly when it contains higher concentrations of dissolved organic matter (including proteins, lignins, and lipids) derived from sources such as the offshore breakdown of algal blooms. These compounds can act as surfactants or foaming agents. http://www.surfingvancouverisland.com/weather/seafoam.htm
