Beauty Lost

Ahhh. The Difference A Blackout Makes! During a blackout in August 2003, the magnicent Milky Way popped into view. This photo duo shows the beauty we miss when we clutter the night with wasteful light! The images are copyright by Todd Carlson and are taken in Goodwood, Ontario, Canada, northeast of Toronto. Left image: during the blackout (approx. 90 secs., 28 mm, f2.8, Fuji 800). Right image: after the blackout (same equipment, 30 secs.).
