My version of the stunning 5pm view from Cabo Anonimo. Stunning is truly the word! This is the vista that for me provided the best sense of Victoria's dimensions! Thanks James! -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Other versions were posted in the Bahia Blanca thread but this really belongs here. My version of the stunning 5pm view from Cabo Anonimo. James. OMG Seems that I'm missing quite a bit here How often have I said "this must be the greatest of Oppy's image yet" ... but this one is now definitiely my NUMBER ONE most fascinating view taken by the Opportunity Rover, if not from the surface of mars at all to date (perhaps only rivaled by Spirit's famous "multi-dust-devil movie") I especially like the late-afternoon-shadows and the bizarre overall look of the scenery, even with rover tracks to add that sense of scale ... WOW again... Can't wait to try a colorization at this one |

James, that is a fantastic image. In looking at the dark material, it doesn't look like it could possibly be due to wind action removing a lighter cover--it almost looks as if the darker material is leaking out of the rocks above. For example, see the Soup Dragon, or Cape E1-E2. Anyone want to speculate on this?
Thanks, Floyd -------------------- |

My take is for a similar mechanism as the one maintaining El Dorado.

James
The rover tracks, on both the near and far side of the Bay of Toil, really give a sense of perspective -- and of having been there. Nicely done. Steve |
