i feel so sorry for all the people trying to debunk what is plainly right in front of their faces. yea, those aren't trees either, they're natural sand patterns

Infra-red light is a lot different the red light. Take a look at some colour infra-red photos. Try these to start...
www.vividlight.com...
erg.usgs.gov...
Note how trees and grass turn from green to pinkish red. Infra red light can reveal a lot that we don't normally see with the naked eye. This is why all science organizations tend to photograph things in various levels of infra-red and also ultra violet. It does more than just tint the colour a little bit. I urge you to take the time to learn more about this rather than ignorantly dismissing it.
Also NASA nor any other space agency sends colour cameras on there probes. They use black and white, thats what the colour filters are for. Some infra-red filters look completely black and opaque to our eyes.
Kano's article makes perfect sense.
EDIT:
Here is an infra-red photo I took myself with a homemade infra-red filter.
What I did was I used two pieces of 35mm film that was developed at a lab, but not exposed to any light prior to being developed. I used two layers of it and taped it over the lens of my digital camera. And that photo was the result. There was no post processing of the photo after except for some sharpening, but I didn't touch the colours at all.
This is just one such example of how infra-red photography can make things look very different and the great thing is you can try it yourself.

notice how every single color in your picture changed dramatically. my problem with the mars photographs is that it's the sky that changes colors while everything else stays relatively the same. shouldn't the color change dramatically on the entire film strip? there are blatantly obvious airbrushings in most of the photos. also, you purposely tried to achieve that affect.
also, don't forget your pictures are taken on regular personal film. now, don't you think NASA would buy better quality film?
i mean, NASA would be aware of these coloring problems on mars, so wouldn't they go out and develop a super high quality film that resists this type of color alterations?
if this really was a problem on mars, don't you think NASA would get the best quality film out there that resists this type of thing?
a blue sky doesnt really mean a planet has life or it has oxygen, neptune and uranus' skies are probably blue but they have 0% oxygen like all other gas giants
The only gas giant in our solar system is NASA. Some planets have blue skys, but they all have oxygen and life.
that directly supports your "blue sky" claim

Care to offer any evidence to support your claim?

When you where not looking NASA officials, parked across your street 24/7, run and place a red sticker on your lense before you turn back! ... sneaky little guys arnt they?
OORRR because NASA is so incredibly advanced... *Cough cough.. BS!* .. they put a big red glowing ball where Mars usually is and then cloaked Mars wit the help of the aliens from zetabetageta 2.
No offense Mr. Lear, I enjoy reading your post.. though I take it as science fiction, if only you could prove it...

We can only believe it or not when they say that some picture was taken with a filter for a specific wave-length, we do not have any means to know what is really happening on Mars.
Using the information about the filters that Nasa supplies, I made the following image using three images from the three filters they usually use.
Is that the real colour? I have no way to know it, the only thing I can see is that the colours are in the range we usually see on the photos from NASA and ESA, the only people who have cameras on Mars (I think)
Water on Mars? Why not, but why must it be water, why couldn't it be any other liquid?
I would love to live to a point in time where we would find definite proof of the existence of other life forms on the Universe, preferably on the Solar system, but why are we only looking for life as we know it, like life forms that need water and identifying things as trees?
Maybe those things that look like trees to some people are just some mineral crystals and what we think are strange rocks are animals, if there is a different kind of life on Mars (and it must be at least a little different, as the conditions are different), why are we looking for "our" kind of life?
Lets just wait and watch, see the difference in quality of those images we now have and the first ones (I remember when I saw the first picture from Mars), and imagine what the next years may yet bring.

Your using the infrared filter same as NASA does but that is a choice and obviously does not resemble how the human eye would observe the surroundings. They CAN send is true colour as from human perspective but they have chosen not to even while pretending they are doing 'the best they can'.
The range NASA and ESA presents are very very broad indeed ( the very first picture looked exactly like a earthly desert with blue sky and all) but at least the ESA seems to be interested in giving us a much closer approximation and vivid colours at least suggestive of the fact that Mars is not some kind of red dry dusty and dull desert planet.
And i fear that those who say 'lets wait a few more years' will be crying the same thing in five or ten years.... We know NASA lies about the colour, the planets much denser atmosphere and liquid water so why trust that we will ever get a clearer picture of the planet if they already tried so hard to tamper the civilization evidence out of existence?
