Check out this incredible gallery at the Boston Globe's Big Picture page, showing locations from all over the world observing this (pointless) event. As you scroll down, click on each image to see it fade to its dimmed Earth Hour status.

That was excellent! Thanks for posting the link.
Pointless indeed, but good for photography. :wink:

Cool gallery.

I agree, pointless indeed! I observed "Earth Hour" :rolleyes: by turning ON every light in the house. :biggrin:

Awesome! The Toronto financial district one is especially striking.

Very interesting link. I found it fascinating to see how much the large cities changed as lights were turned out. Some times it did appear to have some minor effect and other times almost none. Thanks for sharing.

Some of those are really neat.

The one of Vegas though made me wonder about safety down on the Strip with the lights out though.
