I couldn't do before and during pictures since the streetlights never came on and I didn't feel like waiting until they were turned back on afterwards.
This week the Boston Globe's Big Picture featured images from Earth Hour Around the world. Be sure to click on the images to see the cities go dark. It's pretty interesting to see the differences.Reprinted with permission from the Half-Astrophysicist Blog.

Very cool pictures. I had to click some of them a couple of times. It is amazing how some of the buildings just disappeared. Some of the views actually looked better without the gaudy lighting. What a shame we pollute our planet only to waste so much needless energy.
Mother nature turned out the lights here with a blast of her own energy. Many folks were without power that night around here.
Yes, very cool pics.
I actually turned the lights off inside my house and used candles and an oil lamp...not much of a help but good for grin!
I like your pic, hale.
