A photo looking up at a residential building at least 6 stories tall. It is night time, and the vast majority of windows are dark. The windows of one residence are slightly lit. Then, the window of another residence has a light that is extremely bright blaring out of it. The caption reads, "When I open a web page that forces a white background."
