The dark spots in the image are intriguing. And they look approx. the same size. Could show the upper limit size of pebbles small enough to be blown away by the descent rockets if we take up your suggestion Gladstoner.

The terrain looks like a tamer version of Spirit's landing site.

I've added the left eye mosaic, along with the right eye and 3D anaglyph that I posted above, to my blog.

So nice of our friends in Europe to have all these images ready in time for us to enjoy them over coffee here in the US. Thank you!

Somebody, after the landing, said "Rube Goldberg vindicated!"...... - Well, I now feel like saying "Chesley Bonestell vindicated!"... - That rim!

That's an interesting sinuous depression in front of (well behind?) the rover too.

Looks like a WILDER version to me. The Columbia Hills were pimples compared to this...
