Was looking at some MGS imagery:
Kind of a low-contrast scene with some darker splotches here and there. Running that through an equalizing filter gives this image: Some surprising detail brought out there--it looks to me like there are small clouds casting shadows on the surface. Can that be right? They could be little hills I suppose. -------------------- |

They look like puffy water-ice clouds; here's a similar image from Icaria Planum. -------------------- "I got a call from NASA Headquarters wanting a color picture of Venus.
