  • Purple feet?

    From Commander Kinsey@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 17 18:06:31 2020
    I came across this page: https://www.cyclingweekly.com/fitness/heres-science-behind-pawel-poljanskis-legs-veiny-343017
    after trying to find out why a Tour de France cyclist's feet had gone purple (the image was part of one of those 20 interesting things emails).
    All I can find is about the large veins. If my feet went purple I'd assume total loss of circulation and panic. Can anyone explain?

    Possibly an artifact of the lighting and/or photography.
