They're both splendid indirect self-portraits. Both with aesthetically pleasing backgrounds. Of course, the one will remind you of the other...
Seriously, these images give you a feeling of "being there," and are therefore both attractive to the eye and memorable. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

At last!
Since the very first moment she drove down the slope I was waiting for a shot like that. |

Yestersol (sol 1484), more then one month after the last move into the Gilbert layer, Opportunity drove back to Lyell.
Here's the latest fhazcam image. Curiously, she took a "drive-direction" pancam shot after drive looking into the general direction of Cape Verde. Are we heading there? I'll update the route map later on. |

Yeah...good-looking target area for sure. All that "talus" from the upper layers; nice collection of specimens, and the intervening terrain doesn't look too bad to traverse.
The major consideration's gotta be hours of sunlight per day for a given spot, though. Doesn't seem like we can afford to be in the shadows at all... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

If that is the latest drive-direction set, I would imagine that the next target is in the foreground, rather than in the background. I am guessing that the next drive will be rather short.

Three meters. (Sol 1486)
In this slope I wouldn't call it "short". |
