Earth Hour - Sydney

Hi all

Thought I'd give this a go. I was never sure just how many lights would be turned off during the event, and of course, it wasn't nearly as much as I'd have liked!

Still, good luck seeing this on a normal night!

Cheers
Adam

Adam nice photo but it doesn't look too much different than usual for a startrail in the CBD.

Man you and I must live in different countries

I've been to the spot I took this shot a few times, and when facing south at that time of night (key point), rarely see anything in the sky. Prominent stars stand out on the Milky Way of course, but the Milky Way isn't directly south at 830pm at the end of March.
