I'm not sure if the photos were taken during a check of the seatpost, but - just in case: For the safety of anyone who tries to sit on that bike and the safety of the seat lug as well, please, please, please bring the seatpost down to the "Max" limit line.
Make sure to grease the post and the inside of the frame before doing so. Aluminum and steel react otherwise and bond themselves together.
