…the department wrote alongside photos of the column. In the photos, the tall, geometric figure reflects the rocky desert and perfectly aligns with the horizon.
Not sure how you would prefer that be phrased? Also, if you can reasonably see the horizon aligned with its reflection, that suggests something to the reader about how it’s more or less perpendicular to the ground, rather than slanted (cone/pyramid/etc.).
Ummmmm, that’s the photographer that did that. 🙄
Tells you everything you need to know about those “journalists”.

It is like writing about how my children happened to be in my picture next to the grand canyon.
You don’t? Or write, “the photographer perfectly aligned the horizon with reflections of the rocky dessert.”
🤦
Sounds delicious
Rocky road …. Take me home …
I think that’s covered by, “in the photos.”
The photographer did that because the horizon appears at eye level for every viewer.
If the mirrors weren’t perfectly straight up the photographer wouldn’t have been able to do that.
Also it literally says “in the photos” so yeah, what do you expect???
It strongly reads to me like the writer is trying to make something mystical/mysterious out of a completely mundane “feature” of mirrors.
