Oppy seems to have stopped to catch her breath at Turkey Haven, and the latest Hazcams show she is preparing to spend some time studying the rocks there, so this seems like a good time to start a new topic.
If you have any images/observations to share relating to Oppy's approach to Turkey Haven, please post them in the previous thread. To start us going, here's my take on Oppy's view of Turkey Haven - not suggesting the colours are particularly realistic, but they do show, I think, the great variety of tones and hues visible on the rocks at this intriguing place...

On sol 2786, Oppy took 12 left-eye images of the sun-dial. The two sets of 6 images were offset in time (the shadow moved)
So, I stacked them all anyways to improve S/N (and lost all' color' info in the process) Someone please tell me that MSL will be able to focus its sun-dial better... (you can almost read 'two worlds one sun' at the bottom)
