This happened one day in the window well outside my office. I got banned from r/pics for posting it. (lemmynsfw.com)

I guess some people thought it was AI, but just a cool moment in my basement window well.

Edit: taken with my iPhone several years ago since that’s all I had with me when it happened so quickly.

TIL what a window well is. I would honestly love to see what it looks like from outside. Is there some kind of covered up grate on top?

Here it is several years later. It’s an office that I rent. The landlord apparently does not care about maintaining the windows.

I was so confused by the image initially as I hadn't seen a window well that deep before. This follow-up picture made it all click, thanks for sharing.

I mean this looks like a window exhibit at a museum, very fascinating.

Sometimes. The smaller (typical?) ones tend to either be fully covered or have a grate. Many are big enough to stand in, to have plants/garden, or even be used as emergency exits. And might not have any covering.

This one almost definitely had a grate of some kind.
