To
the left and right are two shots of Sky Tracker spotlights
installed on the downtown Painted Hand Casino in
Yorkton.
They will be moved to the West Broadway location when
the new casino is completed in 2009.
In the photo on the right, a burnt out acorn is visible
just right of centre, as well as the glare of the lit
ones. On Broadway, a block to the south (right in
the photo), the glare
from the acorn streetlamps makes the teepee almost
invisible, but then the traffic lights are hard to pick
out of the glare as well, so I guess its no big
surprise.
The building to the left in photos 1 & 2 is City
Hall, which, incidentally, uses full cutoff
lights. |

In
the 1st four light teepee photos above, the bright dot in the
beam near the top is Jupiter. The other streaks are not
dust on the lens; they're moths (see photo 7).
There's an odd illusion if you are standing within a block or so
of the beams; they appear to converge to a blunt point (photo 6)
and end shortly after they cross. The effect decreases as you
move away. |

Photos 9-11: Detail of the pattern where the beams pass through
an otherwise invisible thin layer of haze
Photo 12: The light teepee from a residential driveway in the
city's southwest, approx. 4km from
the casino. |
