Earth Hour 2010
Beginning in Sydney, Australia three years ago, Earth Hour has grown into a global observance. States, large organizations and individual people observed Earth Hour 2010 on Saturday March 27th, as homes, office towers and landmarks turned off their lights for an hour starting at 8.30 pm local time to raise awareness about climate change and the threat from rising greenhouse gas emissions. Collected here are a series of before-and-after photographs from this year - which (starting with the second one below) will fade between "on" and "off" when clicked.

Mother Nature is unpredictable at best of time but it never seems to fail that when she is being her most unpredictable she is also her most incredible. Those of us that venture into these moments of incredible danger only to capture the beauty and majesty of these events constantly amaze me.
