a martian oddbox

and why is it ,whenever we've seen sand slippage in times of yore they've always been of a darker material. at the bottom of this dune it appears the material build up is of a lighter colour .. isn't this contrary to the sun bleaching that supposed to be going on ?

who are they and why are they gathering sand ?

Well I needed that morning laugh!! I heard they are lizard people btw

it makes no sense , why such a huge sanddune in comparison to the shorter dunes that are in patches and are of the same material. whats so especial about this one ?

The dune closer to this one has more or less the same size, Curiosity has left the small dunes area, crossed a rock area and finally reached the big dunes area near Mount Sharp.

Look at this image.

a hulking great construction u8nderneath perchance ?

Why?

how am I to tell the height of the dunes from the sat ? I cant tell one dark patch of indescribableness  from the next

Why?

so the Sandmen and it's can escape before the anarchic, asthmatic wind causes chaos and creates unbelievable tall dunes ,spoiling for them whats regarded as "quite a nice view"

eye eye , there was some odd looking circle and eye of Ra peri on that sat pic though

trouble is , when you've killed and caught one , and  eventually managed to free it from its wrapping , there's not enough meat on to flavour the chowder soup

Maybe this will help.

It's not a good panorama, but it shows both dunes, one to the left and the other to the right.

indeed , the mild distortions of the two cameras make for an interesting horizon,

I wonder what the other dunes hiding

So this does show that the sand can be supported by rock in some areas, it is beautiful where it is around the "eye". Maybe it is a layer over rock in some places because otherwise it seems to be leaning forward to much to stay put. It reminds me of pumace.

Far left of your panorama I find this fishy object and parts around it interesting
