Re: The Artwork of the Martian surface

An amazing image, as are the higher res version and the one showing the general area.


I asume (based on no knowledge or insight whatsoever) that the rounded pale areas with the straightlines within are either artefacts of the camera or the processing or the light conditions.

Just when I thought I'd seen everything. A crater with tattoos. Wow.
