Lights in Alingsås - Purple crown

How the image on this page loads.

Photos

Photos are not just one resized JPEG. A good source can become AVIF, WebP, and JPEG fallbacks across several widths, with a tiny placeholder so the layout is stable before the real image arrives.

Some images also keep richer variants such as wide-gamut or deep-colour AVIF. Those stay separate from the everyday fallback path, because a phone screen, a desktop display, and an old browser do not deserve the same file.

Why the variants exist

Browsers, screens, networks, and media types do not agree on one perfect file. The page stays simple, while the saved asset details keep source kind, quality level, preview confidence, dimensions, format, and fallback intent.

Each asset gets the special handling it needs. The goal is not to show off file formats; it is to make the page choose the right thing quietly, then explain the machinery only when you ask.

An unused 2021 frame from Lights in Alingsås. Late, but still.

This one sat in the old pile without ever becoming a post.

That happens. Not every keeper gets picked the first time around, especially when the whole event is full of loud things competing for attention.

What finally made this one stick is the shape of it. The purple crown on the right earns the first look, but the dark middle and the winding paths are what keep it from collapsing into pure spectacle.

Also very DJI Mini 2. That little thing did what it could.

So this is a late keep. Nothing clever to report. Just enjoy.
