I'm crazy about these ultra-fine lattice-work details - the result of ages of wind erosion. It looks like the lightest touch would snap it off:

Those are beauties! There's been a lot of wonderfully whimsical wind-worn rocks of late!

Yes, Joe, that's the spot. Map update from me when I can get to it.

QUOTE (jvandriel @ Apr 21 2014, 01:01 PM)  Sol 606 Navcam view in Stereo. Jan van Driel I would just like to say thank you Jan, for your prompt and technically well done 3D navcam anaglyph panoramas ! Especially for this one, which is one of the most scenic and dramatic stereo views I've ever seen from any surface mission on mars .... |

I'm wondering if this is the spot where they will "do some science" (modulo a small bump here or there) or continue reconnoitering.

The various contact areas here seem to be masked by drifts in many places - it doesn't look as promising to me as it did in HiRISE images. I hope a good spot will turn up.
