Another kind of photography:
Rocky Mesas of Nilosyrtis Mensae, Mars, NASA Image of the Day
The Mesas in the Nilosyrtis Mensae region of Mars appear in enhanced color in this image produced from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). The image, which was taken on April 5, 2007, is part of a campaign to examine more than two dozen candidate landing sites for the NASA Mars Science Laboratory rover, which is scheduled for launch in 2009.
