A beautiful picture: might take a moment to load but I think well worth it!

The source site is equally good, if anyone is interested in perusing it. I think they are planning to take the rover up the foot-hill in the fore-ground and then around towards that inset on the left. But it'd sure be nice to take it to the top and get a view of the whole region.

If they don't drive to the top and get a good 360 degree panorama, I will be disappointed. It's funny seeing these hills now, I've been staring at them for months in the background of the Mars images.

Wow.
I grew up around country like this - Coober Pedy, various spots in outback South Australia. Brings back memories. I could be right at home on Mars.

Stunning.

Have you tried these links? It gives you access to all the images. There's thousands to choose from.

Grimnebulin,

Coober Pedy..Thats where the good Opals come from isn't it?
I live in a place that also looks like this Martian landscape..I'm a
Rockhound so all the pesky trees, and grass aren't in may way!

Zzub,

Yep, I am familiar with that second link..Thats my target, I just want to be able to download those in bulk..Instead of one Sol at a time...
Any Ideas?

I thought that Mars was the place with the monster wind storms and extream weather? Things just do not seem Kosher to me but then I know nothing about space I guess.
