Looking even further down 😁
No, light was not like that. I’ve pushed colors, and in this image maybe a little bit far. It does not matter. On a clear day with blue sky and artificial lighting in the staircase, this would be closer to the real thing. Even then, it would probably take blue and yellow artificial lights to get the difference that extreme. So, we can pretend that such lighting had been present. You likely wouldn’t be able to tell, and I may not be able to remember by now.
Reality is a strange thing. I strongly believe in it, in the sense that there is only one reality. Everything else leads to chaos. Just look at what Trump does. Like for any modern dictator, the destruction of the concept of reality is his goal.
Of course, there is also the fact that not everyone can equally partake in all aspects of reality. For instance, not having been there gives you a severe disadvantage compared to eyewitnesses.
And then, even eyewitnesses frequently disagree. What remains? For instance, what was recorded, or of the records, what was finally published.
And here you have it. For most of you, this image is reality.
