    In the photos, the tall, geometric figure reflects the rocky desert and perfectly aligns with the horizon.

    Ummmmm, that’s the photographer that did that. 🙄

        …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.).

          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.”

      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.

      It says Las Vegas desert so its probably law enforcement that operates in that part of the Mojave. Hell it could be San Bernardino Sheriff Department depending on how far out you consider by vegas to be, and yeah outside of the cities the cops have fuck all to do 90% of the time.

        I mean it would be interesting to know if these are made of some kind of weird material or something, you know, maybe alien stuff…
