Looks like a water container on the mountain. Its kind hard to judge its actual distance though. More information would be nice.

From the photo, I can tell there has been no Photoshop work done.
Taken with a Canon PowerShot A70 camera. But the date is wrong, it was taken at 12:19 on April 2, 2005, but the date in the camera could be off a day or two. No focal length given, so I can't get a distance. Don't know where to go from here.

Well, yes, it is perfectly level, but if you look at the original pic, the ground of the hill just behind the object is not at all level...
