A Sign of the Times

A glowing yellow YIELD sign cuts through the darkness like a solitary performer on stage, casting warm light across empty spaces and parked cars, and suddenly you’re thinking about cinema and loneliness and how good urban photography is basically just about finding the drama hiding in everyday places.

I love photographing car parks. Great views from the top floor, and interesting urban furniture and lighting inside.

Sharing some good news from #Devon. Devon County Council have been proactive in implementing part-night lighting and dimming in their #streetlighting installation. This has come with sizeable monetary and carbon savings, but also reduces the temporal and spatial extent of #ALAN across Devon, likely reducing ecological pressure on organisms at nighttime.

"There is a fundamental problem that when we design street lighting for roads we design on the principle that cars do not have headlights and that the entire road is in complete darkness and the people using the road are in complete darkness."

"Around 35,000 street lights will be switched off – more than half of Cornwall’s entire street lighting. ... The authority has said other councils have not seen an increase in crime or road accidents when adopting similar schemes."

“Claims of saving money and #energy depend on what you measure. And wasted light at night is wasted energy, contributing directly to #ClimateChange. The change to #LED #streetlighting has been rushed and botched. We need to think again with new measurements that consider the true human and environmental costs.”
