Denver at night. mothernaturenetwork: In many North American cities, older neighborhoods have less regular street patterns and light-green mercury vapor lighting, while newer cities, like Denver, Colo., have street patterns aligned to the compass directions and use orange sodium vapor lighting. The major Denver street patterns, as seen in this photo taken on Jan. 31, 2008, are rectilinear, aligned north-south and east-west.NASA photos of cities at night
