Where does this glow in the photo come from?

You can see bloom with your bare eyes. Ever tried to look inside an open window in a sunlit white wall? The inside is orders of magnitude darker and will be drowned from the bloom, not to mention your iris (aperture) will shrink. You have to make a "toy telescope" (rolled-up cardboard, fists or similar) and block the light parts to make the bloom disappear and see inside the room. So if we're judging cameras by how well they imitate eyesight, this is not a flaw.
