a statue ? surely hallucinations  brought on by  breathing to much martian fog

I do see what could be taken for a "statue", but what we see is what we get, and in this case, it is not enough. It does look like an oddity laying there, and on the base-end of it, we can see 2 protrusions of some sort sticking out from the "bottom" of the statue. If it is a statue, then these 2 protrusions could be what were meant to keep it vertical/positioned.

Right now, the biggest problem I have wth it actually being a statue is, after looking in detail at the full area photo, I see nothing else that even comes close to looking anomalous - may be some, but I haven't see any yet!!

That does look very interesting, Z; unfortunately, the current mindset seems to be that no one is going to contemplate the possibility of anything ...
The entire planet surface of Mars has the appearance of having been blasted to rubble; perhaps the old tales of a war that destroyed Tiamat and devastated Mars have some basis in reality...

but if they can't touch it, taste it, or assault it...

Welcome to the world of anomaly posting!! Anomaly hunting is still "fun" - the "posting" of anomalies, not so much....ever!!

Well, I finally did find the individual photos for this anomalous looking "statue", and........probably not a statue. The reason I say that is, the clearer view of the shadows around this feature more clearly shows that what kinda looks like the head of the statue is not actually connected to the "body" of the statue. The body shadow actually does show to stop at the end of the "body". What does give us an impression of a head is laying on another rock there, with other rocks.  At least that is what it looks like to me - and Z, you well know I am not a "debunker"!!
