		<description>If anyone has done their studying; this may draw some interesting theories.
If you read about the annunaki and etc., earlier civilization documentations, UFO&#039;s and etc., fallen angels, cross-breeds. Aliens. Aliens may also be fallen angels who were casted away. Who&#039;s to say they didn&#039;t traverse space. They may have mutated; or change through physical damage from something or someone(s) or alterings; due to space travel. The caves on Mars could merely be where these beings drilled for precious minerals to bring back to their planet. Who&#039;s to say they didn&#039;t leave something behind.
These caves could be proof for extraterrestrial existence. Their are too many UFO cases reported over the world. Too much evidence from early civilization documentation and evidence in space. Supports the theory of a tenth planet that comes in and out our solar system. The Broken Bracelet being the planet Tiamat at one time, cataklysmic damage shown on planets as scars, and etc. shows proof of a planet coming in and out. I could keep on going. I&#039;ll stop here.</description>

I share ACW&#039;s curiosity about the light colored area north of the &#039;hole&#039;--is this perhaps some sort of wind effect we&#039;re seeing? Could this be a clue to the nature of these phenomena?

There seems to be similar markings on some of the other photographs, for instance, the photograph marked F on this page:

http://planetary.org/blog/article/00000984

has a very long light colored section at the top of the hole.

In the high-res photo of Jeanne, also available from this page, at 400% magnification I&#039;m seeing what looks to be cliffs and small shoreline-like features in the area of 11 to 12 O&#039;clock, and the object appears to be a round pool of dark liquid, almost a Crater Lake-like caldera feature.</description>

		<description>Domes / craters

What helps me a lot is to know the direction were the ligth is coming from. then I &quot;see&quot; the source of light before my &quot;inner eye&quot; and immediately recognise what the shape is.

It is even possible to flip from domes to craters and vice versa by &quot;putting&quot; the source of light to the other side.

Great pics!!

		<description>Who knew that mars would be populated by cavemen? Bet they saved a lot on their car insurance.</description>

		<description>In reply to Thanny&#039;s comment: In my job I spend a lot of time looking at large scale aerial photos, and if I have north pointed down instead of up, I often see hills as valleys and vice versa. It can be a bit disorientating, but is instantly fixed as soon as I turn the photos the correct way up. This is irrespective of the time of day the photo was taken.</description>

		<description>Oh dear.  I had to look at the photos again to see the domes.

Sorry &#039;bout that.  :)</description>

		<description>I actually saw craters in the pictures until Phil mentioned the domes.  Even then, I had to TRY and see domes, which I eventually did.</description>
