This is a shot high up from the car park in Tobacco Docks in London. I was going to stay until the lights went down but i got asked to leave as the car park was closing.
The clouds are very interesting it makes the skyscrapers look like mountains.

Using a unique, single-molecule force measurement tool, a research team has developed a clearer understanding of how platelets sense the mechanical forces they encounter during bleeding to initiate the cascading process that leads to blood clotting. Beyond providing a better understanding of this vital bodily process, research into a mechanoreceptor molecule that triggers clotting could provide a potential new target for therapeutic intervention. Excessive clotting can lead to heart attack and stroke -- major killers worldwide -- while insufficient clotting allows life-threatening bleeding.

In 2011, a team of psychologists did an experiment with some preschool children. The scientists gave the children a toy made of many plastic tubes, each with a different function: one squeaked, one lit up, one made music and the final tube had a hidden mirror. With half the children, an experimenter came into the room and bumped apparently accidentally into the tube that squeaked. “Oops!” she said. With the other children, the scientist acted more deliberately, like a teacher. “Oh look at my neat toy! Let me show you how it works,” she said while purposely pressing the beeper. The children were then left alone to play with the toy.

Jeff Pawloski, a researcher at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, part of the University of Hawaii, collects a saliva sample from the mouth of Kina, a false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens). Kina has been trained to allow samples to be taken, which researchers will use to determine the composition of the saliva and to measure the hormone levels of the animal.

Flora and Fauna International has been hired by a British mining firm to assess the environmental value of a national park in the Arctic circle
Environmentalists and indigenous reindeer herders are calling on the Queen, Sir David Attenborough and Stephen Fry to disassociate themselves from a charity contracted to help a mining operation in a national park in Finland.
Fauna and Flora International (FFI), whose patron is the Queen, has been hired by the British-listed mining company Anglo American to assess the environmental value of Viiankiaapa, a stunning 65 sq km (25 sq mile) habitat for 21 endangered bird species in the Arctic circle.

A relaxation in Queensland's tree clearing laws led to the destruction of 84,000 hectares of critical koala habitat in the two years after the national icon was listed as vulnerable, according to new mapping by conservationists.
That koala habitat made up about 14% of all land cleared between mid-2013 and mid-2015 was an alarming revelation, WWF and the Australian Koala Foundation said.
