Where great military and aerospace minds meet.

Beach scene or surface of Mars?

I took a look at this photo, (http://bit.ly/lFoYX) and at first thought it was a languid vintage beach scene, perhaps from the South of France. Pretty funny to realize it was a photo of Mars shot by the rover. That rock in the foreground is metorite, not an island.

How usual it seems these days to see photos of the surface of Mars.

Try as I might, however, I can't find the Master Cylinder anywhere in the photo. Perhaps he's behind the meteorite lying in wait for Felix.
