... look like if there were no terrestrial lights?

This photograph series by Thierry Cohen shows what our cities would look like at night if they had no lights at all.
To create the images he travelled to regions far away from all artificial light, but on the same latitude as major cities. He photographed the skies, and then combined those images with photographs of the cities in question, altered to remove all lighting.
Very cool!
And our eyes were as sensitive as a long-exposure photograph.Originally Posted by KG4CGC
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
A lot of people would stub their toes in the dark.

There are parts of the world where you can still see the night sky like in the picture. Your eyes will adjust.
I can only speak from my own experience, of course, but I've lived pretty far off the grid, way out in the boondocks of southwestern Oregon and although the sky could be pretty spectacular on a clear, moonless night, I never witnessed anything as intense as that photograph.

Reminds me of lying on the beach at Forked Lake in the Adirondacks about 12 years ago, looking up at the stars. That was the night I realized just how many man-made satellites there are flitting around up there. Kind of ruined the experience in a way, but the sky was beautiful.
I have been to Logan County, Kansas. There was the only place I have seen stars on the edge of the horizon. We were far enough from any city that there were no terrestrial lights. It was awesome.
OK. I have to base my comment on pictures I've seen from SA at night on the west coast of it.
Now then, enjoy the picture and quit being whinny. (bitch)
I can't help it. It's my M.O. and you ought to know—you're the one that hung the title on me. You whore.
