They live on the side of a canyon. The fog comes from the river at the bottom. They are looking at a mountainside facing the mouth of the canyon. I live in the Alps, you have such views on the small mountains leading to the higher ranges.
I’m not discounting the idea that you could have a picture like that outside the porthole. I am discounting the idea that you could take a picture like that from inside a ship.
The perspective is explainable, it’s just your original comment that I can’t wrap my head around. Do you make a habit of showing up to leave these kinds of rude comments on posts? Most people don’t act like this.
Oh I don’t want to be confrontational at all! I am just trying to understand what I am missing, as usually I am nitpicky with perspective too but could not spot the mistake there! Please dont see that as a very serious or angry argument!
I am not assuming a ship, but a cave, so from a point of view of low altitude. I imagine the camera being horizontal, at the level of the tallest person’s head. I see 3 layers on the background: the canyon wall on the right, fairly close, the small ridge with what looks like a nice ski slope on it and a big mountain in the background. Granted, that one is huge, you may need a 1500 or 2000m differential between the window and the background mountain top but I think I could find such spots on Google Earth in the Alps or the Himalayas.

The image outside the porthole is not possible. It’s wrong.
