Possible Naval Yard Bridge photo?

On initial inspection, you would think not as the picture seems to be taken looking west (and thus towards the "Long Bridge".)

The mirrored picture is indeed accurate. However, the direction hasn't changed. It is still facing West. I know its a little tricky to wrap one's mind around how all that works. Its kind of an optical illusion.

The point of reference in the photo is the "L" shaped building. It was located on the south eastern side of Green Leaf Point and opened up to James Creek.

Hopefully this map will help you get your bearings:
