They are wearing a beige blazer, white pants, and tan boots, with one hand resting on a chain-link barrier adorned with padlocks. Behind them, calm water reflects the warm lights of large brick buildings and a tall chimney, suggesting a historic dockland or industrial area. The sky transitions from deep blue to orange, indicating sunset. The scene combines architectural charm, soft lighting, and tranquil reflections to create a picturesque urban atmosphere.
We are pleased to share insights from our second winner of our competition for the most sustainable journeys to #biologists100.
