(40,416 posts)5. I was seeing the lack of foreshortening in the foreground.
A telescopic view leads to compression and distortion in the foreground. I see a more or less flat field there.
However, the horizon is yet another bit of evidence.
My best to you, as well as to the OPer for a great pic.
An R&K for you, Yui!
