Default if Spirit could actually see lakes of water at Gusev *PIC*

then it would probably look something like this:



I'm just playing with my colorizing software again and transferred
the color histograms from seversal Spirit pancam images to a
photograph of a landscape in nordeast iceland ...

So now we know how the ancient shallow (salt) lakes on mars would look like if they were still present

I have a picture similar to yours but of this location at low tide. It's of Grand Pre Nova Scotia looking over the Minas Basin. Here's an example (not mine).

At low tide it looks very much like your picture...

Typical Tourist Shot

Martian tourism...?

Actually, send it to both of them. Tell Nancy it's Ex, and tell RCH that the lake is obviously artificial.


On second though, I think I side with stu after all.

It is artificial. It was caused by the Martian Beaver dam (located just out of frame).

I'm sorry, but I find "Martian Beaver dam" absolutely hysterical.

I might need a vacation.
