The perspective on this makes it seem like you're standing on one rim of the canyon, looking down.

Looks like a petrified turtle. That guy on Art Bell's program will no doubt pick up on this.

It's big and ROUND, which is really interesting. Water action is suggested, and the field of little dune-like things looks like a dried-but-formerly-wet area to me.

The one I linked to is from the European Space Agency Mars Express Orbiter -- but I check the Mars Rover site every day hoping for cool new pictures.
The "problem" with Opportunity is that other than the crater they landed in and the big crater they rolled to, there's nothing else for miles around!
