Taking Out The Garbage

I took the garbage out last night, late, and happened to glance down our street.  I was struck by how spooky the street looked - I realized that one of the street lights further down was out.   I actually really loved the look and the feel of the street this way.  Actually I would be happier if there were no street lights on at all, on our street.  The street lights contribute to light pollution and make the sky brighter, and interfere with the use of my telescopes in the side yard.
