Earth Hour in the Big Apple

Earth Hour has just come and gone in New York, and I spent it by lamplight on the rooftops overlooking the city. How much fun it would have been to be able to say that this was a photo of the city during Earth Hour…

…rather than a great example of incorrect exposure. In reality, it looked more like this:

There’s no point naming and shaming, mainly because I don’t know the name of the building on the far right, but that’s a lot of ‘essential’ lighting for one building. The neon advertising in Times Square also apparently constitutes essential lighting. Still, it was nice to see a large part of the city dimming out for the hour.

How did you spend your Earth Hour? xxx
