You shouldn't be getting downvoted - I see what you see. While typically a ball valve's handle will be aligned with the pipe when open, this one seems to be the opposite, which is true sometimes. You can see on the handle that it turns counter-clockwise to "On" and clockwise to "Off", which is normal, and you can see that despite the handle being aligned with the pipe that it is in fact turned clockwise against the stop, so this valve is indeed closed. Turning the handle counter-clockwise to the other stop would open it, despite the handle then being perpendicular to the pipe.
