Inconsiderate neighbours!

I was walking around outside my observatory a little while ago (about 3am) and noticed not a single neighbours porch light, not a single street light nothing anywhere, complete blackness.....until...I looked south ...there in the distance I could see three lights, peaking over the tree tops - the only lights visible on the entire horizon....they were left on at Mt Stromlo Observatory ...I mean can you believe that the only lights visible in a 360deg sweep are from a bloody observatory (all be it 23km away)..it's almost like a bazzar joke
