Those who live in the country resent light pollution. After a while, we forget others live with it all the time. Neighbors with a large barn light or excessive boathouse lighting can offend us, and we will take action to reduce such unnecessary illumination, especially on a lakeshore. It doesn’t respect others’ lifestyles across the lake.

Since 9/11, New Yorkers have installed powerful twin beams of blue light that extend many thousands of feet straight up as a large memorial to that tragic event. Wonderful to see, the Tribute has become a hazard to bird-life migration on any annual anniversary of 2001. Songbirds get disoriented, flying around and about, often crashing into nearby buildings and drop dead to the ground below.
