At boundaries between flat and highly curved surfaces, reflections can 
play some pretty surprising tricks with our eyes, so it may well be 
accurate after all.

Try to put some long narrow cylinder(s) at that particular place on the 
ground to see things more clearly; I somehow suspect that what you think 
is a single contiguous line may actually be two orthogonal lines.
