Pictures of Toronto During Earth Hour

picturesHere are a few shots of Toronto during Earth Hour last night. Just before 9pm, the meter at the Toronto Hydro control centre hit a low of 2,738 megawatts - 5 per cent below the demand an hour earlier and about 8.7 per cent less than a typical late March Saturday night.

The first two pictures are from the Associated Press and the third, our skyline as seen at 8:27 p.m. on March 29, 2008 compared with how it was seen at 8:19 p.m. on March 26, 2008, is from The Toronto Star.

Ditto on James' comments about the photo. Is there a high-res version of one or both of those shots available somewhere?

That's the Star pic - I saw they gave it the super large treatment into today's Earth Hour pull-out section.

There's a much better Flash version here: http://www.thestar.com/fpLarge/photo/407331 .
