Also, when you see it in correct scale and you know it's correct scale because the human shows up in reasonable proportion -- and remove all color -- you have WHITE SNOW lying all over the ground. If the ground were actually a red color, it would show up as DARK grey on black-and-white, right? Right.
And when you see and identify the woman's figure standing there, you realize, she's standing next to a snow-plowed road, with other people behind her. Next, you notice, she's walking past the huge heads of dormant, hibernating serpents encased in snow. I wouldn't know this except that serpents, snakes, dragons, vipers are a primary motif that shows up in most of NASA's photos. What I'm hoping is that someone from NASA will explain to me, why the explanations get so garbled when it's so simple to address the photographic elements and see what's real, in the photos, in the first place.
