Re: A tower of light
I spent a couple of nights at the Excaliber next door to the Luxor. One interesting thing was that there were lots of birds that seemed to be circling around the beam of light. Here in San Pedro a group wanted to put similar lights on the Vincent Thomas bridge to Terminal Island, but it was stopped because another group objected, saying the lights would cause birds confusion and put them in danger. After spending years raising money for the project it was stopped virtually at the last minute. I guess I should be happy because it would just create more light pollution and interfere with my telescopic view of the sky.
