Mile End Park - Glare vs No Glare

This is a little corner of Mile End Park. The weather was overcast, and the light was diffuse. The X-E4 saw this...

... but my camera was tricked. Deceived. As were my eyes. We didn't see what was there, we saw what was there behind the glare-y, diffuse light. The photograph below is a lot closer to what was really there. What we would have seen if the light was clear.

The light in this photograph seems to be coming from the left-hand side of the photograph. Probably half-a-dozen of those big movie lights.
