   Abstract:
   This review explores the physical properties of natural light, both celestial and bioluminescent, and its distribution in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. A description of the natural sources of light is followed by a discussion of the spatial, temporal, spectral and polarization properties of visual scenes, and how the predictable structures of scenes have profoundly influenced the evolution of vision.
