Man, this looks an awful lot like a dust devil in the distance. What do you think?

Thanks for the sundial images Alan. I think its very interesting to note the amount of material moved around (not only on the dial, but in the background as well) as early as Sol 416/417. The cleaning apparantly isn't just an 'event' that occured on Sol 421, along with the spotted dust devil. This time of year must just be a windy time at Gusev.
