Atomoid, Thanks for all the pics and info! Does anyone know if NASA has commented on the "muddy" pictures? It seems that many of the earlier pics of this area were either cropped out or  touched-up and Opportunity seemed to avoid traveling over it. People have stated disbelief that NASA would touch-up pictures, stating that they couldn't understand WHY they would want to hide something. I would like to repeat the question -- why don't they just :rant: tell us?   And, can you locate any pics of muddy wheels. The ones I've found have the surface of the wheel all smoothed out.

Is seeing believing? View some images at this link -

I believe that MANY pics from JPL are touched -up: areas blurred, pixelated, wiped out, completely changed, etc. I like the scientific arguments for or against liquid or flowing water on mars, but I like pictures even better. Imagination, need to believe, paranoia, educated evaluation? Just take a look.   And have FUN!:laugh:

(Images at RoverPics site can be zoomed and comments can be left.Names of images originally given on [http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html]JPL/Rover Site are at bottom of pics. )

Found an interesting picture that may have to do with volcanic activity or geysers (besides the more noticeable areas which is anyones guess as to what they are). Within the upper third of this image are black marks on the lighter background. Many of the marks appear somewhat V-shaped, set at an angle. If the more verticle streak is imagined to be a plume of smoke, then the other, fainter streak connected to it, quite easily appears to be the plume's shadow. Also, at the very bottom of the pic. The angle of the plumes shifts due to the reference of the camera.  ???  Just an observation. follow this link --

Couldn't find the image on the Malin website where it appeared originally.
