It's a beautiful image, as you guys always manage to produce. I have some questions about the "white stuff" in the tracks. I suspect it might not have been as brightly white as the sulfate or silica stuff dug up by Spirit near Home Plate. What could this be? unsure.gif

Thanks Tom

The "white stuff" is just compressed fine-grained soil and looks bright because of reflections in the
lighting geometry, as confirmed in message from SS

hope you are OK now after Ike

Yeah. That's pretty much what I thought the bright stuff was.

Thanks for asking...Ike was a challenge for us, but we're doing quite well.

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.

As a newbie let me add my congatulations too! Poweful stuff! I'm really flat out most days but getting more and more tempted to find time to try my hand at some imaging!
