And AW&ST Seeing the surface and clouds in the same view really provides a "sense of place". Simply stunning. And the similarities between the two are very intriguing... Thanks, guys, both quality and speed of images posted on this Forum are better and better each day! -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Exquisite! A landscape of blueberry fields forever, under tenuous whispers of crystalline reflections.
Stu! It's time for a haiku! Get to work. -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

In case Google crash, here is the model Let me take you down cause I'm going to Blueberry fields Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about Blueberry fields forever Living is easy with eyes closed Misunderstanding all you see It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out It doesn't matter much to me Let me take you down cause I'm going to Blueberry fields Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about Blueberry fields forever No one I think is in my tree I mean it must be high or low That is you can't, you know, tune in but it's all right That is I think it's not too bad Let me take you down cause I'm going to Blueberry fields Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about Blueberry fields forever Always know sometimes think it's me But you know I know when it's a dream I think I know I mean, ah yes but it's all wrong that is I think I disagree Let me take you down cause I'm going to Blueberry fields Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about Blueberry fields forever Blueberry fields forever Blueberry fields forever -------------------- |

Top shelf work, folks. That view really is impressive, and the reference to Blueberry Fields seems surrealistically appropriate. It is quite a dreamscape, or perhaps a dream come true. Everything we've seen through these rover's eyes has been something we could only imagine a few short years ago, and this view adds a new dimension.

A different version, with a polar-like projection of the Michael's stitch (something like a super-fish eye view...)

Mhoward and others, fantastic work! And imagine, we are now realizing that there are billions of other planets in the Universe, each with their own sights!

What a great collaboration of a "on-the-fly"-Team"of four: Micheal (superb original stitch) Tayfun (perfect blending out of the missing sky parts), Ant103 (beautiful initial colorization) and Marco (mood and breathtaking lens geometry) Awsome work ! |

I'd like to second that wholeheartedly - thanks to all. I hope this will start a trend and we will begin to see more integrated sky-and-ground images here. I'm sure the data is out there to do it. For geology the ground may be almost sufficient, but for 'being there' we need skies. I say 'almost' for geology because in fact the distribution of light and colour over the whole sky is directly important for interpreting what we see in shadowed areas of the surface. On Earth we expect shadows to be bluer than areas in direct sunlight while on Mars the reverse is probably the case, so we need to adjust our mind-sets accordingly and images like this are very helpful. |

It's just a try, OK ?
I'm not good at all to do it properly but, since the begining I like the idea of the rovers sitting under the stars. Feel free to do it the right way (BTW, originals are not MY pictures ) -------------------- |

It's just a try, OK ? And a very good idea it is, Climb! But I feel that the Blueberry Fields should be darker and 'bluer' than in this version, and the stars a bit more diffuse along the horizon to fully convey a sense of night.. -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!
