In the British city of Birmingham, the sky and streets were bathed in a pink hue, leaving residents surprised.
The striking sight was seen around St Andrew’s Stadium, where powerful floodlights during an FA Cup match fell on snowfall. The reflected light spread across the area, turning it a soft shade of pink.
Photographs and videos quickly circulated on social media, with users describing the scene as “magical” and like a “film scene”. At first, many people struggled to understand the cause of the unusual light.
Experts said that snow reflects light more strongly than ordinary surfaces. When combined with coloured or warm lighting, it can completely alter the colour of the sky.
In this way, the combination of football, weather and lighting turned an ordinary match night into a memorable moment for Birmingham.
