A red deer stag beneath a tree. Light was pouring through the canopy creating shafts of light in the dawn mist.

Well, ElizabethTower. Right as I came out of the tube station the sun broke through for just a second, I only got one quick shot off before the light faded again.

Newly discovered fossil evidence from Namibia strengthens the proposition that the world's first mass extinction was caused by “ecosystem engineers” newly evolved biological organisms that altered the environment so radically it drove older species to extinction. The event, known as the end-Ediacaran extinction, took place 540 million years ago. The earliest life on Earth consisted of microbes various types of single-celled organisms. These held sway for more than 3 billion years, when the first multicellular organisms evolved. The most successful of these were the Ediacarans, which spread around the globe about 600 million years ago. They were a largely immobile form of marine life shaped like discs and tubes, fronds and quilted mattresses.

A scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a spore stalk that's partially open from a hornwort Dendroceros crispata. The hornwort is one of many species of plants that scientists are studying as part of the National Science Foundation-supported "Tree of Life" initiative. The goal of the initiative is to reconstruct the evolutionary history of early land plants, as well as to answer such questions as how multicellular aquatic plants evolved, what plants first colonized land, how are the early plant lineages related to each other, and what genetic, cellular and structural changes did they undergo.

We've known for some time that the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light (colloquially known as “twisted light”) can be modulated to carry information, but until now, it's only been demonstrated on large-scale laboratory lasers.…
