Ok Ok they're not floating but they are some pretty cool rock formations.

I seem to have the same problem don’t I.

LOL

[Amagi]

I see the spoons. I do.

[Stentor]

Send the Syrians THERE.

With a brown bag lunch.

[DoughtyOne]

It’s so obvious when you pointed them out, but I sure didn’t see them prior to that.

Thanks.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks. I see them now.

[Salamander]

If that is an ancient ship, the spoons were diving boards for the pool.

[DoughtyOne]

Very small swimmers...

heh heh heh

[raybbr]

Real curious to know what caused them to erode like that? Water? Wind? Radio Waves?

[Salamander]

Tiny little guys...long gone.

[Amagi]

Is the inset a detail from the larger photograph?

[DoughtyOne]

There’s one. Almost looks like Salamander...

Hey, what are you pulling here?

= :^)

[Salamander]

I dunno.

I made that thing back when the Rover first landed.

War Of The Worlds critter, post-influenza phase.

;D

[Red Badger]

Must be coke spoons, with all that white....................

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Sir Gawain, extra to APoD.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

I guess with almost no atmosphere and no precipitation you can get some weird stuff eroded out over the millennia.

[JimRed]

Layers like that usually form in water, though sometimes wind can deposit soil that way too.

[NormsRevenge]

The stuff on the right like like collapsed buildings .. Or sumthin’. The spoons remind me of long necked overhead lights.

Maybe this was a sports complex. Or where past cosmic dwellers stayed.. Imagine the bonus points ya got then in rewards.

[glock rocks]

Maybe it’s a burned out diner...

[NormsRevenge]

I wonder if they had truckers ??

Greasy spoons .. Ya never know.
