After quite a long break here is the latest addition to the Alien Landscapes series .. this time from above as
viewed through the ultra sharp eyes of the MRO Camera smile.gif

(Actually, I find that the view from HiRISE resembles more of an sight out of a not too high flying airplane
or even helicopter window, thus creating the impression of a real landscape flight-over as opposed to a more distant "from space" orbiter/sattelite-view)

The planet looks more & more like southern Utah or Arizona with each shot...I keep looking for the interstate cutting across the frame! biggrin.gif

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.

My thoughts exactly! Much of the Martian plains look a lot like the American Southwest from above. I can recall flying out to Phoenix and being able to clearly follow the shoreline of the ancient inland sea.

The land tells its tales... all lands tell them. I'm just glad that, in the case of the Martian lands, we're finally listening... smile.gif
