Amazing! So close to home (and so similar), yet so far away. Love to go there someday.

There is the clear outline of a Roman fort at 0.8E,0.1N relative to bottom left. Two good rightangles and a gatehouse- slightly off centre, but not bad – one of Publius Quinctilius Varus’ lost legions?

If you look really closely, you can see the outline of a coyote plummeting towards the bottom of the cliff.

Seriously, keep the excellent images coming.

Excellent.

In the full image to which you link, BA, is the white material near the bottom of the image carbon dioxide frost? If so, that would be so cool!

Spectacular. It almost looks like vegetation.

I think it would be awesome if someone would develop an “Age of Empires”-type game in which you could edit the terrain (as you can in Age of Empires) to have Mars-like textures, with scarps and craters and stuff. I’d buy that. Then I’d wipe out the Martian civilizations with my rocket-powered chariots.
