light pollution

Tonight I walked back from work in the dark.
A combination of being last one out and the winter setting in. As I headed towards Harrison park, I was aware that I was about to walk up the diagonal unlight portion of the park.
I watched the dogs with their light up collars and balls (calm down at the back there. tsk).
I almost got blinded then run down by a cyclist with a flashy light coming towards me on said path.
Even the boy in the canoe on the canal had a light on his bonce and a glow stick on his boat.
Here, I stuck my camera over the bridge, held it steady, and hoped for the best. I caught a bike coming down the path (light on, of course) and the l.e.d. lights that line the path. I wouldn't cycle down there in the dark for any money!
I was amazed at how light the sky became with a longer exposure - light pollution doing it's best.

On that note - did anyone see the news about the LED lights in Sheffield? I would love to see them rolled out all across the country but it's expensive. One day when all the councils have loads of money....
