Let's use this topic for the last stops (Cabo Frio, perhaps?) before Opportunity leave the vicinity of Victoria for good.

That is indeed beautiful, and thank you for the gift, MH.
![]() Inspiring as well, and for those who don't care for poetry, my apologies in advance: Leaving Victoria The horizon has never been featureless and now we must leave the layers of the mysterious past, for our limitations stop us now but only now for all life is short, and we must leave. This alien place, this new home must be seen, must be touched as much as possible and the distant cliffs beckon, there is no resistance Victoria gives us up willingly, for we are strangers still Onward, for as long as we can Onward, through dunes and cold and penetrating frosty dust Onward, past cobbles and meteorites Onward, till the power is gone, and our vision grows dim... Someday we will stand static and alone, but not forever and never now we go onward, and see what must be seen we go now -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
