HiRISE image for public exhibition - suggestions Options

[pgrindrod]

I was wondering if the fantastic hivemind of UMSF might be able to help me out...

As part of the European Planetary Science Congress, which will be held at University College London in September, I am putting together what I hope will be a fairly unique image exhibition.

I have been given the go-ahead to print out a HiRISE image, measuring about 3 x 40 m, to run the length of an entire wall of one of UCL's main buildings. The exhibition will be up for about 3 months afterwards, and will be open to the public free of charge. The goal of this exhibition is simple – to showcase a beautiful image at an unprecedented scale. I hope that the image will challenge visitors to understand and explore the image at different distances, with some details only visible on a centimetre-scale, whereas larger vistas require a long look from far away.

So the image is to have interesting textures, colours, shapes, patterns, rather than just scientific merit.

In my application I used the awesome sand dunes and ripples with dust-devil tracks (small crop below and link to full image), and although it is probably still my favourite at the moment, it has 2x2 binning, and I would prefer to use 1x1 if possible.



So...does anyone have any favourite HiRISE images that fit the brief? I am after as many suggestions as possible (I've already contacted the HiRISE team with a similar request), so that we have a good selection to choose from (final selection in next 2 weeks).

I'll be using just the colour strip (full width, not quite full length), so they're the ones to think about.

I'm afraid there's no reward on offer, other than the possibility of your favourite image as a huge print out! Of course, I'm happy to give tours of the exhibition if anyone is passing through London this Autumn.

Thanks for any help in advance,
Pete

Yep, I'm afraid that it is too late for suggestions as it's up on the wall already!

It seems to have gone down well, with loads of people taking pictures as soon as it was up. Although, I'm not sure that all the planetary scientists at EPSC even noticed it was there



The exhibition will be up for two months in total, so if anybody is in London and wants to see a 40 metre HiRISE image for free then please do pop along. If you give me a shout beforehand I might even be able to give you a tour. Details on how to visit are here.

Thanks again for the suggestions. And if you get to see it, I do hope you like it.
