GEOMETRICAL OPTICS Laws of Reflection Curved mirrors

Photograph of Mount Moran in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming - taken by Becky Henderson Reflection from a surface Incident ray and the reflected one is in one plane The angle of reflection equals angle of incidence

Can you explain this picture?
