Camino a las estrellas - a photo on Flickriver

Esta semana (desde el 13 al 19 de abril de 2015) se celebra la Semana Internacional por los Cielos Oscuros (The International Dark Sky Week 2015), con el objetivo de formar conciencia sobre como el mal uso de las luces y luminarias hacen que cada vez más nos perdamos el espectáculo del cielo nocturno.
Para poder realizar esta toma tuve que manejar mas de una hora desde mi casa en la Ciudad de La Plata, y aún así las nubes están iluminadas por las luces de la ciudad de Magdalena (Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina), ubicada a unos 10 km hacia la izquierda de la foto...
Pero la contaminación lumínica es mucho más que no poder ver las estrellas, produce alteraciones en las tasas de crecimiento de las plantas y cambios en los hábitos de los animales, incluyendo el hombre. Y lo mas loco de todo es que no se requieren gastos excesivos para minimizar este problema, es todo cuestión de optimizar los recursos que ya se tienen y hacer algo de planeamiento urbano pensando a futuro.

ENGLISH CAPTION: "Road to the stars" This week (from April 13 to 19) is the International Dark Sky Week 2015, a worldwide event carried with the aim of creating awareness about how the misuse of urban lights is making us lose the beautiful sight of the night sky.
To make this photo, I had to drive over an hour from my home to the shot location with the hope of finding a dark sky to capture, yet the clouds are illuminated by the lights of the city of Magdalena (Buenos Aires, Argentina), located about 10 km to the left of the picture...
But light pollution is much more that not to see the stars, it produces alterations in plant growing rates and changes in animal habits, including man. And the craziest thing of all this is that is not a very expensive nor complex thing to solve!, it is all a matter of optimizing resources and do some thinking ahead urban development.
