    Agreed, if we can resolve the "curved" versus
      "level" semantic issue.   But I stand by my original claim that
      the horizon does not need to be level if the terrain is not. 
      Personal preferences I guess.  That is just one of the many things
      that makes photography so compelling.

        Given - both the Oxford English Dictionary and Webster's
          agree that the visible horizon is the point (or series of
          Points - my words) where the sea and the sky appear to meet.
         
        Many, but not all people, believe that the world is round,
          thus their perception must be that the horizon curves.
         
        Experience - whilst working in Europe for an American
          company one encounterd the view that some Americans feared
          that if they crossed the outer borders of their continent they
          would fall off.
