This makes an awesome wallpaper

I wonder how it took root, is the bottom dirt? or did it break through the concrete/metal to grow through?

You should check out this video about Baldassare Forestiere, he dug out several acres of caves and grew orange trees underground that grow out of their skylights. https://youtube.com/watch?v=mUKRPoQKynk&feature=share8

I really want to know what's causing the light spots in the alcoves of the cement, but I don't even have a theory.

looks like mortar to me. the glue between the blocks

Reflective mortar? Or maybe we're talking about different things.

They look like little battery-powered LED disk lights placed randomly in the vertical alcove.

This is an old photo, are you claiming to be the original photographer?

No, that's why OP's reddit username is in the title.
