WOW!

I have not seen that image yet and it is the best I have seen from the surface of Mars so far.

Take a look at that rock formation at bottom center!

From the shadows, it has two thin fingers lifted above the surface. Wind erosion is extremely important with these rock formation, but that is rather amazing.

It reminds me of the wind erosion arches seen in Utah.

Agreed -- it's outstanding, and the prior photos were nothing to gripe about either.

That's strikingly similar to the ears of the "bunny" formation seen in other photos. Coincidence, or is something else at work?

Interesting "gouge" at the upper right, too. Looks almost like mud that someone scraped out with a stick.
