This type of lighting actually reduces your ability to see what's going on, which is not at all desirable in a parking lot! The second image is titled no common sense:

The difficulty of the Spanish economy is awful for everyone in Spain. The only good news that I took from the visit is that Spanish cities are now very seriously confronting bad lighting. There were many talks which presented areas that were formerly over lit, where recent improvements in the lighting system have resulted in a massive energy savings. In many cases, the visibility in such areas has been greatly improved by removing glaring lights. You can see how this works in the following image:

Later this week, I hope to present images of some of the the very good modernized lighting that we saw in Spain.
