Thumbs down Sydney landmarks go dark for Earth Hour

Hi IL'ites,

Wanted to share this wonderful photo taken in Sydney, Australia.
It is the first city to turn off the lights for the EARTH HOUR. This is the pic of SYDNEY HARBOR..initially with lights on and then the second pic shows that the lights are turned off.

Sydney landmark

Thanks
Krithika

Thanks for sparing the wonderful snap of the opera house and sydney harbour (hanger) bridge. It reminded my sweet memoirs of my past life in Sydney. Thanks a million

Hi,
Nice pictures. The real beauty lies in the second picture with
minimum lights. I hope US may also follow Australia and conserve
energy.
