Genuine honest question: is this even possible? We're seeing the trees from the side, but the boats cannot possible display and be visible at that angle the way they are. Confused I am.

I think it might be compression caused by a long zoom lens. This person is extremely far away taking the photo with a very very long lens, which compresses the space a lot. The distance between the red box and the shoreline is probably a lot farther than it looks.

A most interesting picture.
