Today's city is Singapore. As you can see there is a tremendous amount of light shining up from Singapore. The dark areas include a large nature preserve and regions of water.
The view from above and judging from how
things look on the ground, I am guessing that there aren't much of any light pollutions controls in Singapore. The bright skyglow of
Singapore is visible from quite a distance away.
To me what is most astonishing about this view of Singapore is that even the boats off shore are brightly illuminated. Take a look at this zoom of the above shot:
One would think that sailing away from this city of over 5 million people would provide the opportunity to experience darkness. That can't happen on a brightly illuminated boat.
This world tour is nearing its end. Tomorrow we (finally) cross the equator and head for Australia.
