It’s not a glitchy re-colourisation as such. This and many other photos were taken by Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky using black and white film and red, green and blue filters. These were then reprojected together to make a colour photograph.
Exactly that. And the colour fringing around objects such as the man and the pole he’s holding isn’t because of lens chromatic aberration, it’s just movement between exposures.
:D hahhah, no
Is the word trip less often used as "journey"/"holidays"? The connection to drug use is stronger?
I don't think it would be a good trip, though. Seeing and old man that looks like Charon on a funky looking river and someone waiting on the other side...
Yeah, it's crazy how the actually-vibrant colors you get from having full RGB color intensity information makes the image look so much more modern than the kinda crappy and washed-out colors you'd see in photos from, say, a '70s 35mm "point-and-shoot" camera.
Work uniforms, am I right? Never have to worry about if your shirt is matching your pants, if you got matching socks, it's all there for you, right there. Transcendance.

In color it looks like just another picture from someone's trip

Yeah the glitchy re-colorization makes the river look like it has a huge oil film on it.

So they are time shifted? And the rivers is discolored because the water surface changed between shots?

That's neat, you can even see which of the taller blades of grass were swaying in the breeze.

That's not the part that I mean. It looks so... normal. As if it was taken just a little bit less here, not over 100 years ago

And how much we are used to weird colors or b&w implying past

Be pretty amazed if the photo was taken 1909 BCE.

I think they were making a joke about AD (CE) time being specified, vs BC(E)
