  12. Bowed Heads

    Lately I've been seeing 
    a lot of people with their heads
    bent over as if in prayer.

    I am heartened to see
    so many engaged in the art
    of meditation or contemplation.

    Whether waiting for
    a meeting to begin
    or for someone to arrive
    or perhaps simply to kill time,
    the hands clasp
    and the head bows.

    Then I draw closer
    and I see that the head
    is bent over a screen.

    An ethereal light bathes
    the worshipper's face,
    eyes enraptured,
    captured in a blue glow.

    And I can't help
    but wonder if this
    is the new God.

  16. As a historian (of #night #ArtificialLight #ALAN #lightpollution), this is a fascinating study for so many reasons. And conveniently it is now in the conclusion of my Memphis talk for next week.

  20. Daylight saving and circadian rhythms and killing wildlife on the roads
    Crashing into the 'zone of wildlife'

    “[With] daylight saving, we start shifting our cars and our daily routine more into the zone of animals, their sunset, sunrise period … suddenly there are cars when all the dusk choruses are happening."

    "Species that would be of obvious concern would be kangaroos and wallabies, that are often quite active both in the morning and in the afternoon around dusk, so any increased traffic around the time when they’re most active can create potential issues with road accidents,” Deakin University wildlife ecology and conservation professor Euan Ritchie says."

    "Cars – with their lights and noise, and the danger they pose – can affect insects, birds and wildlife." >>
