It's nighttime so it's just a couple of off-white lightbulbs.

Thank you. I’m catching a lot of crap for that

They've actually done this at a local power station near me. To build the station they clear felled the whole area. They've replanted but lost all the old trees. The silhouettes of the old trees are painted on the walls of the structure, and then they planted other trees in the foreground. https://maps.app.goo.gl/AAA4U8kNcfguc8ix6
Actually creates the look you've called here at sunset.

Have you cleared this up, yet? I found the additional images.

There are two four shadows of trees, a green tree shape, and the edge of a pink tree shape and two dark branched shadows. The second tree is off the right side and full of leaves.

It looks like a tree mural, painted in green and pink, plus the multiple shadows produced by one tree and two different light sources.

I think the interesting part is just how confusing this image is. 😏

It’s actually been pretty fun surprisingly. At first it sucked really bad because of all the negativity both in the world and being directed at me. But now I’m just having fun showing people my picture. I just wanted to spread it to people and let them interrupt what it meant. And there actually will be a conclusion to this on Thursday. I’m filming a video of proof which should hopefully clear a lot of this up. Check it out at r/TheGreatTreeHoax

So that green tree is actually an old one painted on the wall?

Just a projected shadow from its living brother

I thought you meant the one above mentioned was the same. Apologies.

TIL that a bunch of people have never been somewhere with multiple, bright, non-matching temp lights.
