Can it be some metadata. With pictures I find that you can rotate 
picture in window's pic's viewer. But it won't be rotated, when opened 
in ubuntu. Also, rotated so pictures, when uploaded to sites (e.g. 
Kijiji). Recently on ubuntu I get a weird question about orientation 
when I open them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
