Magnificent Mars Photos Shows Anomolies What Are They?

I have just found this from the Huffington Post, The tall upright things look like trees, obviously they can't be trees but what do you think they could be?

The photo in question is titled Falling Material Kicks Up a Cloud of Dust on Dunes

The link can be found here www.huffingtonpost.com...

If anyone can upload the photo for me that would be great I am not offay with adding photos to threads.

There's already a thread on this. It's an optical illusion. Once you see a higher definition version, and once it's rotated 180 degrees, the "trees" become obvious dark debris falls. Interesting, but not trees.

Optical illusion ? if thats true then this title is a little misleading on the page?

NASA's HiRISE camera, the most powerful camera ever sent into space, has snapped breathtaking portraits of Mars.

are all the photos on that page optical illusions or is it just that one?

Seriously mate, they're not trees.

I'd be the first one to be jumping up and down if they were, believe me!

They are reportedly a liquid run-off, from thawing CO2, trickling down a hill or slope.

Could be CO2..could also be H2O. Could even be trillions and trillions of barrels of crude oil too.

Not trees though. Well...not in this particular image of Mars anyway.

Just because they used a really nice camera to do it, does not mean you are not seeing it wrong. These "trees" are laying down across the ground. The optical illusion is that it appears to be a long shot of a desert full of trees when it is a TOP DOWN shot of nothing close to trees. Get it?

This is being discussed in this thread.......Click Here

Here is a link to the image.........



Hope that helps.

There are "trees" on Mars, but that is not the image I have seen before. the one I saw was without doubt of huge tree like structures with limbs and branches. NASA is hiding all the good stuff.

I do not suppose there is a chance you could find out where you saw that pic, is there?

i tend to think that is not the real color of that photo either, it just looks off especially in the "trees" where branches spout out, its like a blurred redish, doesnt look right

cool photo

If you look at the hi-res closeups, you can see why there is that red fade out. This picture is taken from a great height. These trails begin to crumble into fallen pieces of debris. Toward the ends, the chunks get smaller and smaller and from this height look like thin light sand.

I always found this one interesting

Now those look like trees

....again, until you look at the hi-res closeups. They looked a lot like tress all over ATS until someone finally showed the hi-res closeups. People seem to keep forgetting the scale of what they are looking at and it's relation to the camera and the ground.

Yes i know they have to be massive but what are they...they are up from the ground,they cast a shadow on the ground.
I know that doent prove anything but still find em fascinating.

I know that you will not believe anything I say anyway. I am looking for the pics. Remember how the "face" on mars turned out to look NOTHING like a face when properly lit and photographed with a hi-res camera? Same thing with your trees. I am not trying to argue with you but there were several threads on them a while back and the close ups appeared and pretty much put it all to bed for anyone not claiming the closeups were NASA fakes - that looked amazingly like close ups of the "trees" but still. They are a type of crystaline structure. I am still looking.

No no I believe you, can you show me how to view the picture I linked to so I can see the optical illusion I am just not getting it. Also isn't it a bit sneaky to show that photo upside down? it kind of creates something its not.

Isn't it frozen C02?
I'm sure there is already a thread on this

Edit:
Found it.

The images appear to show rows of dark "conifers" sprouting from dunes and hills on the planet surface. But the scene is actually an optical illusion. The photographs actually show sand dunes coated with a thin layer of frozen carbon dioxide, or dry ice, less than 240 miles from the planet's north pole.

Do you mean this?:
(which, it turns out, are geological features when seen at a higher resolution)

Yes, that's one of the 'tree' pictures of Mars.

Even Arthur C. Clarke remarked that they appear to be trees, as well as other fairly famous 'scientists' in the public eye.

They look like ground hugging, vary large outward growth type trees or bushes.
