Short time to enjoy Eldorado images and now... just released picture of HomePlate, I know still hundred of meters away but seems so close!

stitch of two Sol712 NavCams:

It seems Spirit is now at the same level of HomePlate plateau!

Here I tried to identify some features seen from the summit... not totally sure on bright sand spots and rocks, any suggestion?

This hill is in front of Home Plate and blocking it from view. We have to get around its left edge (east) before we will see Home Plate again.

Phil, I know the bright (rocky?) plateau is behind, but also the hill is very close to HP (it belongs to it!?)...correct? At least a couple of features identifications should be correct...
Anyway, a new image makes even more intriguing Panorama (and less distorted too):
