But you’re only seeing half the mountain.

So? That's still obviously accounted for in the scale of the buildings. The buildings are roughly 1/10 of the whole mountain but since only half of the mountain is in frame they are 1/5 of what is in view. It's correct.

Except the bottom half of the mountain isn’t in the picture
