Seeing stars
This month's National Geographic magazine includes two breathtaking, for very different reasons, photos from Utah.
In an article on light pollution, "The End of Night," that investigates why few urban Americans see the stars anymore, National Geo captures the nightime splendor of the sky in Utah's Natural B
ridges National Monument.As a counterpoint, the magazine offers a shot of the blazing LDS Temple in Bountiful.

Thanks for pointing this out Glen. It's really sad. We live in the suburbs and I don't think my 2 year old has ever seen the stars.
This photo certainly leaves a poignant statement regarding the Mormon Church's comittment to a greener community.
though it should be noted that the temple lights go out sometime between 10:00 PM and Midnight -- lights in homes, large office buildings, etc. often are buringing all night long...
Notice that the picture has been enhanced to exaggerate the brightness of the lights. More media spin thanks to National Geographics.
