They're all cool, of course (I love armchair travel!), but what a difference in Las Vegas!

14. Cool - but it's going to take a lot more than a token hour once a year to make a difference.

16. I think Earth Hour was just a way of showing people how simple it is, and ...

... that it is possible for people world-wide to do something together.

Everyone knows that it's only a start.

17. Very impressive. In each case I found the dark version more soothing and attractive.

But I've got a thing about bright lights outside at night, as some of my neighbors know...

18. That's neat

I think the Colosseum looks better without the extreme lights.
