And don't forget the front hazcams after gawping over the navcams, they are awesome and just little bit scary at the same time.

What strikes me about these pictures -- or about my reaction to them -- is that the blueberries strewn across the ground, which seemed so alien not that long ago, now seem so normal.

Woah I'm staking a claim to this place to open the first Martian sand surfing arena!

The interior of the crater is not available for Opportunity, the walls are too steep.

This place is amazing...we have rock layers to study and that ledge on the opposite rim looks like an accessible safe parking space to do just that...sand dunes at the centre bottom of the crater..dark dunes on the side wall...not to mention the ejecta rocks around the crater itself!

By watching the dunes (the most beautiful variety so far) I can't decide the general wind direction. This is important to find the best place to get a solar panels clean up. I don't expect we'll find a better oppy for a while. dd.gif

I hope they start a full Pan this weekend. Some of those ejecta-blocks look very interesting. Different from the usual boring wink.gif Meridiani layered rocks?
