There's a bunch of stuff that's come down from Spirit on '2008-09-22' that looks as if she's clearing some very old images from the flash memory. There are Pancam and Navcam images that are quite beautiful, including this one which I think is from somwhere near the summit of Husband Hill.

Jump on over to the Spirit images at Exploratorium and take a look. I'd love to see some of these images processed in colour.

Astro0, that was one of the coolest posts I've seen...
Somehow made me think about when my dog fells asleep, entering Dogdreamland territory and I stare at her imagining with what might she be dreaming...
Now that our eyes are set at Meridiani it is so cool to think about Spirit that way (yeah I'm antropomorphizing the plucky one, so what?), dreaming with all her past adventures and, by looking at those images I can't avoid to think what a harsh, although wonderful, life our rover at Gusev had so far... smile.gif
