It reminded me of views of trees at the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore (see postcard below):

interesting.
Wow, that is a really interesting story! We still have so much to learn.
Cool! Now that they have found ice, I wonder if there was life there at one time.
Do I really want to read the story, or will it ruin the magic of the photograph and the juxtaposition of your Sleeping Bear shot?
While it's supposedly a photographic illusion, it is a good one. Amazing.
It sure beats all the bland butterscotch-colored photos we have seen of Mars in the past.
But I love butterscotch.
That is quite an eye you have to see the similarity between these. Thanks for posting it. I tried to hop onto the link but our cable connection is grindingly slow the past few days (maybe the Haiti disaster has increased the traffic that much) and I had to give up after filing all my nails waiting for the page to come in! I'll try tomorrow.
Those are both really cool pics. It will be interesting to see what they learn about Mars in the next few years.
Another NASA cover-up!
This fascinates me. I'm so glad I came here to see it.
What a cool photo.
They both are eerily similar.. scary to think that one day we might as humans be living on another planet..
Headin' out to Eden! Yay brother. Just don't eat the fruit.
Da Blade: Thanks for the bit of groovy Trek history! "Lost in Space" did one or two episodes like this too.
Mrs. Hairy: Good to see you again. I remember countless science-fiction stories and scientific projections during the last century that had us having moon colonies and major space stations by 1999. To me, such a future seems more distant now than it probably was when Kennedy was pushing for the moon launch program now close to 50 years ago.
Yes, science fiction really missed the mark on how quickly we'd get into space. Avatar is a bit more realistic: We've just reached Alpha Centauri in 2154.
very cool...
