Whats the no context here? It snowed hard and someone probably removed the snow at some point to keep the phone accessible. Seen this pic already like a decade ago. I remember it was somewhere in Japan, likely Hokkaido.
Yeah. Not disputing that it is interesting either, as I said it has been around for a while. I think it is pretty cool to look at. Just not a no context pic in my opinion. But turns out I am alone with that opinion and thats fine. What is not fine is others accusing me of being “mean spirited”.
That’s how things look when you dig them out but not the top. I’ve seen people drive their cars with giant pillows of snow on top. This pic wouldn’t be all that hard to set up. Just dig the phonebooth out near the beginning of the storm and then wait. It’ll look like this.
I’m not sure I understand. The snow on top looks like the snow on bottom but most snow looks alike. You can tell someone dug it out since the snow around the booth is less.
To me it looks like someone dug it out, ignored the top, and then waited a few hours and took the picture.
Yes, that’s what happens when you dig something out in a snowstorm. You’ll get that overhang. Snow is pretty sticky and has pretty good structural strength until you disturb it. In nature that formation is called a cornice. You get them on mountains that blow snow over a ridge.
Sigh. One last attempt. Magically remove the booth. You’ll notice that the volume of snow on top of the booth perfectly fills the gap of the now removed booth AND the gap around it. As in: No one dug it out. The top caught the snow that would have gone around the booth.
Someone dug it out otherwise there’d be no walkway there in the front. Again, as someone who grew up with Maine winters and meters of snow every year imho this looks like someone dug it out either before the storm or at the beginning of the storm (leaving some amount on top. looks like half the amount) and then took the picture later to get this effect. I’ve seen many, many sugar shacks and ice fishing huts that looked exactly the same in my life.

It’s an interesting pic that’s not AI, enjoy.

The fediverse is full of grumpy assholes. Just gotta ignore them and the downvotes and keep on keeping on.
Also blocklists are your friends. I tend to block the most egregious grumps on here because I value my mental well being.
You are absolutely being mean spirited though
It has no context provided. Nothing in the rules requires that it be a mystery.
Yes they removed the snow and carefully placed on top of the phone booth. Very considerate.

Around here that’s called Snow luggage
Except here you can see the snow on top pretty much perfectly matches what’s not around the phone booth.

The top of the booth caught the snow that would have gone around the booth. Notice the overhang on top and the narrowness around the booth.

I admire your persistence.

Btw this is not a cornice.

Wait, are you suggesting someone actually placed the snow on top of a phone booth?
Thank you, that explains a lot.
