The path of sunlight at sunrise and sunset is much longer than during the day. Before the sunlight reaches our eyes, the shortest wavelengths are scattered. Yellow, orange, and red make it to the eye. That’s why we see sunsets in these hues. In the photo I took, you can see an unusual light display above the sea, creating the illusion of a figure, perhaps resembling a person or something mystical.
It could be the result of light refraction or clouds creating this effect. However, some keen-eyed internet users noticed something interesting in the photo. The light phenomenon might resemble the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, especially if you focus on the shape and posture of the figure. I took this photo at sunset yesterday and posted it online: Am I the only one seeing it, or did you notice it too?
That statue is well-known for its upright posture with outstretched arms, which can visually resemble a cloud or a beam of light when taking on a particular shape. Such a phenomenon can inspire various reflections and interpretations. For example, it might be seen as a symbol of hope or blessing, giving the photo a unique atmosphere. Am I the only one seeing this in the photo, or did you notice it too?
This extraordinary phenomenon has sparked lively discussions, where people can reflect for a long time in search of answers to questions that may not even exist. It could be a divine message or simply a natural occurrence. Sometimes people see images or figures in clouds or reflections, often related to the effect of pareidolia.
