Maybe a meteorite?

Added a little more drama by rotating Tesheiners by 6.5 degrees, so that the far horizon is flat. I think Oppy is driving on the steep slope of Cape York, so this view may give a hint how it is feeling to stand there.
EDIT: Why does this meteorite not roll down? -------------------- Need more input ...
