Just trying something a little different...
Love this location, but can't wait to move a little farther around the edge to see some new details... -------------------- |

You won't wait too much. Today is driving sol (1039) and we should have new pics in a few hours.

Yes, something in the order of 55+ meters. There will be some nice new vistas of the Bay of Toil.

Ant,
I really appreciate when you add the desktop wallpaper versions.  That is really helpful for us image-challenged types. David |

Stu: Am I interpreting that correctly? Is that Jack Frost nipping at the plains of Meridiani?
So, next up is the Bay of Toil. Sounds difficult.  The unfolding vista is pretty awesome. If they actually achieved 55 meters, it would have unfolded more awesomely, but it appears that the result of the 1039 drive was more like 23-25 meters. It looks like the next drive isn't in the tracking database yet.

Sadly not, it's just some weird "huh?" result of my messing about with the colours... As usual I'm not trying to be 100% colour accurate, but rather going for a "look" and a "feel". I leave the colour perfection to others here with about a gazillion times more expertise than I! The new view's opening up nicely tho...

Stu:
Interesting colours, rather Bonestellian in tone... ...now, where *did* I park that big glider? Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

Hang-gliding on Mars will be only a little more risky than base-jumping with a un-anchored bungee-cord!

Thanks for your comments
Here is a version with the rover to have a scale of the structure :
(sorry for some inclusion trouble, it was a little hard to cut out the rover from JPL press release image) -------------------- |
