QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Feb 5 2007, 12:42 PM)  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!

QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Feb 5 2007, 01:42 PM) 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

QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Feb 5 2007, 01:42 PM) And that brings up the big 1000 posts. Still, can't keep up with Spirit or Oppy sols though. Welcome to the "Part of the furniture" group, James.  Ooops, that's only for the 5000+ posts. |

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 -------------------- 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 |

Here's a long-baseline anaglyph of the tip of Cape Desire and Hoy behind it from across the Bay of Toil. Pancam L2 and R2. Taken sols 1060 and 1061, but before the drives both sols, so positions are marked 1058 and 1060 on the route map:

Here's the adjoining view just below the previous one. Stunning wind-sculpted hunks of rock.
