Well, with the Spirit Rover doing it's detailed analysis at Low Ridge and slowly building it's McMurdo panorama, what better time to stroll down memory lane and open up the old photo album. So have a look at my favourite top 20 photos returned by the rover and enjoy!
I'm also working on a Best Of Opportunity page, with the idea of making the photo pages a tribute to not only the MER imaging team, but also to the many Mars imaging enthusiasts who have shared their talented, hard work with us. The link is on my home page.

Sorry about the typo, Doug. I was in a hurray before I went away for the weekend.
Ken, I should have the Opportunity up next weekend and I hope you'll be find some of those images a suitable addition to your talks......Here's a preview of one image I'm sure we're all familiar with. The one "little" change I did was that I extended the sky. But that alone has given it a grand, epic feel that makes me want to look at it over and over again.  http://www.marsgeo.com/Photos/Opportunity/...5_Horizon_e.jpg -------------------- |

I think we could go for the Italian-American style of a brief man hug with two back slaps. You have to wear a leather jacket for full effect though.

I'd like to propose strict limits on the number of consecutive chorusses of the Philosophers Song.

Shaka,
Back on the topic (!). After I witnessed Spirit landing in Pasadena, I moved strait to Kauaii (for business ). A few days after I get there, the first colored picture was published so, I rushed to to my collegue proud to show them an unknown territory. You know what? They all shout : "but, it's Waimea canyon"..."it's next door". This very picture was not one of the 20 bests, but well, it reminded me to think to watch things from as many way as possible. By the way, where is the blue one between the red one and the yellow one. Mauaii ?

Yeah, Climb (mind if I call ya "Climb"?) - the reds are a good match, as are the gray basalt outcrops. I prefer the temperature range of Waimea though. QUOTE By the way, where is the blue one between the red one and the yellow one. Mauaii ? You're standing up too close. Step back to about the orbit of Jupiter.

Yeah, Climb (mind if I call ya "Climb"?) Sure! I like shorcuts to my dear humuhumunukunukuapu'a  You're standing up too close. Step back to about the orbit of Jupiter. OK. As Galileo is no longer in orbit, I've no chance to break the Da Vinci Code I'll have another try when NH will fly by
