That's the shadow I think my eye was looking for and didn't find. It wasn't a direct shadow like the box in the photo casts onto the carpet.

Today, my eye was hit by a tiny piece of stone chip (I was cutting floor tiles with an angle grinder). I am constantly dripping tears from my left eye which is, consequently, permanently blurred.

So, to get to the point of this sad and pathetic tale of woe, my eyes cannot today be trusted to do much at all!
