This is a closer view of the rock and soil in the previous post, from Oppy, Sol 205: <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> ------------------------------------------------------------------- "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

Oooh, that one's really gorgeous, swampcat. It's pretty enough to frame and put on the wall! In my opinion, one of the neatest things about the MER mission is that it's making Mars look like something more than a barren, rubble-strewn wasteland. It's still a "magnificent desolation", but it is a beautiful one now. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff." -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink" </div>

Absolutely.

are there any theories on the dunes at Endurance? could the dunes be entirely from wind?

Great images swampcat. I love your cherry-brown of the sand ! After a two-week absence, I have a lot of catching up to do. Thanks to you, rlb2 and everybody else posting these wonderful images ! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> I feel better than James Brown. </div>

"Great images swampcat. I love your cherry-brown of the sand !" Thanks, Chemist, but I'm not sure I can take credit for the color. I just punched the buttons and that's what came out <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />. Anyway, here is a part of one of your images in "approximate true" color from Oppy on Sol 208: <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> ------------------------------------------------------------------- "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

Swampcat, The_chemist, its good to see your posted images again. It looks like summer is almost officially over. It’s good to be back. Chew_on_this I see swampcat help you out. The further down Opportunity goes, the more interesting rocks it finds. Here is another look at the above image. I compensated a bit for the amount of light they give all there filtered images and came up with this. I am finding more and more green parts in some of my images by trying to correct the image quality because of the way they take the image, don't know how close to true color this is. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

Hi rlb2, welcome back. Hope you had a pleasant trip. Here is a L2, L5, L7 rendition of the Endurance dunes from Oppy, Sol 207: <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> ------------------------------------------------------------------- "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

rlb2 · Aug 27, 2004

Thanks. I like what you and Chemist have been doing so much that I thought I would add a little more color to my images. Here are some of the results of that. This one I made into a 3D color image. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Ron Bennett </div>

Probably won't see any of this until late Sunday or Monday. You know how the mods are about approving images on the weekends <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /><img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />. Oh well, got to have a life I guess <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />. Anyway, here is a sunset from the Columbia Hills as seen by Spirit: <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> ------------------------------------------------------------------- "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.
