I LOVE Juniper! It has had a dramatic decline on the South Downs; in just one place in Sussex is it abundant - @sussexwildlife.bsky.social NR Levin Down. It is sculpted by the wind here into giant bonsai shapes. The UK gin industry now imports European juniper berries; its more abundant in Europe

The ocean’s depth here goes up and down by like ten feet every day. PERSON 1: What? PERSON 2: It’s because the planet has a big moon orbiting near the surface. It causes weird gravity effects. PERSON 1: *What???* [caption] People here are used to them, but tides are one of the weirdest and most sci-fi elements of life on Earth.

Positive tipping points for climate, like the UK phasing out coal, show how big steps toward a low-carbon future can suddenly become unstoppable. Can we identify where the next tipping points could happen, and figure out how to help trigger them? These researchers say YES. Read more:

Meeting the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to “well below 2 °C” requires a radical acceleration of action, as the global economy is decarbonising at least five times too slowly. Tipping point...

I can’t even believe I got this photo. I wasn’t supposed to chase that day. I ran out to the edge of the desert at the last minute. I happened across this scene, but this cell wasn’t producing much lightning. Still, I set up the cameras & waited. Finally, it let loose this beastly double bolt. #azwx

The "Ghosts of Vezio Castle" in Lake Como are moulded off tourists who agree to have white gauze and chalk fitted to them. The sculptures are then left to the elements, where they erode. When a new season begins, the ghosts are cast anew.

Well, if it’s 30 August, it’s the 121st anniversary of the marathon at the St Louis Olympics, which saw 32 people start, 14 finish, the ‘winner’ get disqualified for cadging a lift, and the gold medallist reach the end only with the aid of brandy and strychnine

An artist's conk polypore fungus growing out of the trunk of an old tree. Normally these look like round shelves, shiny brown on top & white underneath. But this one is a riot of rounded, pillowy beige shapes, and the brown shiny top part has arranged itself into the form of a contented looking calico cat. Thanks to Trish Paton for noticing this

My favourite word for a mobile phone is the Zulu umakhalekhukhwini. It means something along the lines of "the one that wails in your pocket" I should also mention (because I'm currently in Sweden) that in 80s Swedish slang a mobile phone was sometimes known as a yuppienalle, or "yuppie teddy bear"

It can be galling to see one's period misrepresented onscreen but that shouldn't be reason to deny historical truths, like that medieval people shuffled around giving it the whole 'my liege' all the time, unless they had cheekbones in which case they were the king

Spotted on my last trip to Venice: a model of a tank designed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1487. This fighting vehicle was designed to be driven straight onto a battlefield and to decimate the enemy with its 360-degree cannons. It was powered by two large cranks operated internally by four men.

A conical-shaped machine with small cannons attached to it. The hatch is open to show the mechanism inside.
