A piece of Mars: You can’t easily tell here, but you’re looking at a steep slope that is high at the bottom of the image and flattens out at the top of the image (the small dunes at the top sit at the foot of the wall). What’s neat here are the many small boulder tracks, formed as rocks get knocked down. A road through this canyon would need a sign saying “Warning Falling Rocks”. (HiRISE ESP_026356_1960)
