That depends on how wide the river is, how far away the building on the other side of the river is, how tall the other building is. If the river is 10ft across and the buildings are the same heigh, why would he have to look up at a 23 degree angle?

When an elevation drawing says north does that mean looking north or north side?

There are two schools of thought regarding elevation views of buildings. Some say that when you are standing to the north of a building, you are looking at the North Elevation, because THAT is the side that is FACING North. Others say that since you are LOOKING to the South, you are looking at the South Elevation. I myself am baffled that there is even this confusion. Consider this. If you are looking at a house and you can see the front door and the front side of the house, you naturally call this the Front Elevation. There is no ambiguity. You wouldn't think to argue that because you are LOOKING in the DIRECTION of the rear of the building, that you are looking at the rear elevation? That would make no sense at all! So why do some then insist that the name of the elevation is based on the direction you are looking? The North Elevation is the North side of the building. That's it, done!
