Nice image from Mars

This is just a really artistic image and I had to share it here. I didn’t take it, unfortunately, as I didn’t have the opportunity. But NASA’s Opportunity did and whipped out its camera to look back over its shoulder at a Martian dust devil chasing it through the valley below. The view looks back along the rover’s tracks leading up the north-facing slope of “Knudsen Ridge,” which forms part of the southern edge of “Marathon Valley.”

I do have to admit it looks a bit like some of the country within a few hundred miles of where I live, including the dust devil. The composition reminds me of Ansel Adams.
