Color temperature

Does this picture look strange in color? I took it with my compact digital camera without any special setting. Of course the real view was different in color. The sky was not so blue. Is my camera out of order? No, it isn't . The reason for this strange color is known as "color temperature." Color temperature differs according to the light sauce and the lower the temperature, the more red and the higher the temperature, the more blue the color temperature changes. Most traditional film is set to day light color temperature and if we take a picture with it under an incandescent lamp, the picture looks red or orange. In terms of digital cameras, most of them have built in function so that the color temperature or white balance is set automatically by an image processor. It is very easy and convenient because a film camera user had to correct the color temperature by choosing filters suitable for the color temperature of the object. In this case of my picture, the processor mistook the color temperature setting because of the strong light sauce of the road side mercury lamp, but thanks to the malfunction, I could get this interesting picture.
