καιρός remembered

The sun shines through a window into a room. The rays fall onto a stainless steel water filter and are reflected on the wall behind it where they produce this intriguing image.

The image, with its bright halo around a dark centre, reminds me of the solar eclipse I once observed. But there are other elements in this reflected image of which I haven’t been able to figure out how exactly they came about. It makes it all the more wonderful and mysterious.
