Perhaps it's now time to start a new topic: Oppy has hit the road again! Here's the view looking back from sol 2122:

And the view forward, towards Fresh Crater, our next destination?

My take is that those are just more big ripples a little beyond Conception.

Hopefully we are near the top of the rise, it would be nice to have a distant horizon to look at (and Phil-o-vision smile.gif ) again. But personally I'm not expecting a 'hell-of-a-view' for a long time yet.
