Judge, Why do you find it interesting, the orientation or the subject, or both?
Anyway, yes, the uploaded image here is portrait orientation. I am using an edited version.
I think it looks like this because
I used my cell-phone to take the picture, and held it vertically to get the view I desired. It goes automatically to portrait when held vertically. Then I sent it to my ipad, edited - cropped it a little to force it to look better while in landscape orientation, and am using it as my background on the ipad.
