  • Urban development encroaching on a farm field in Pennsylvania.  Loss of farmland to housing is a serious problem to food production.

  • Downtown main street of Liberal, Kansas sports new streetlights with old-time character, but which pour light out in all directions and up into the sky.  With no shielding the exposed globes cause much glare that makes seeing difficult.

Tipuana tipu (Leguminosae) – tipu tree; native to South America (Brazil, Bolivia & Argentina) – fruits (samaras); the 1-3-seeded, unilaterally winged samaras of the tipu tree bear a striking resemblance to the fruitlets of maples (Acer spp., Sapindaceae). A unilateral wing causes a helicopter-like flight as the diaspore rotates around its centre of gravity (i.e. the thickened, seed-bearing part of the fruit); length c. 5cm. ---  The tipu tree is widely planted as a street tree in the tropics; it is very vigorous and can become an invasive pest, such as in South Africa. The timber of the tipu tree is used for furniture.<br />
From: http://www.fao.org/ag/AGP/AGPC/doc/GBASE/data/pf000407.htm: This is mainly an ornamental tree, used in urban forestry, but the leaves also constitute e good feed for stock. It is also one of the many "rose woods". It has been used in the South Sahel and North Sudanese ecozones for street and amenity plantations, as well as in Dakar, Cairo, Lisbon, Tunis, Sousse, Jerusalem etc.

  • San Franciso and the Golden Gate Bridge, seen from the Marin Headlands.  Even though a relatively "green" city in a state that pays attention to night lighting, San Francisco is largely not different than an large urban area and puts out a lot of light into the night, creating a night light environment of its own.

  • Michael Mesure and his volunteers from F.L.A.P. (Fatal Light Awareness Program) do their annual laying out of the birds that were killed running into downtown buildings in Toronto.  Birds confused by urban lighting become confused and trapped in the lighting of skyscrapers.
