These are cool shots. I like the silhouettes of the mountains in the distance. Ignoring temperature, lack of water, unbreathable super-thin atmosphere, this would be a nice place to wake up in the morning.

That silhoutte is the Gusev crater rim itself. Hopefully, they have full-resolution images still to transmit. All they have posted now are down-sampled EDR images (except for the single Navcam shot).
