Colorful Paper Boats Float Across London’s Canary Wharf

Media architect Claudio Benghi and artist Gloria Ronchi, of Aether & Hemera lit up London’s Canary Wharf with a beautiful fleet of 300 paper boats, illuminated with different colored LED lights.

They maintained an organized installation by connecting the boats, with threads, to the ones nearby, and several threads are also anchored to the riverbed. Each design is weighted so as to not tip over in a blur of sinking ships.

Tom Cruise Shoots All You Need Is Kill in London

A helicopter carrying actor Tom Cruise swoops onto Trafalgar Square in London, England, during the filming of ‘All You Need Is Kill’ in the morning hours of November 25, 2012.

The Trafalgar Square and surrounding streets were shutdown for more than three hours as Cruise shot his scenes for the movie. The production blocked off a three-square-mile area.

According to the Huffington Post, a spokesman for the City of Westminster, the London borough that includes Trafalgar Square, said Londoners would not benefit financially from the filming, but added, “It raises the profile of the city and is good for tourism.”
