Top photo information: Above I indicated in red and surrounded the strange shaped stone hollow tower.

Above I enlarged the strange TOR.

The photo that interests us was taken by the robot on the ground on Mars "Curiosity" February 13, 2013, and posted on the official website by 14 February 2013. The coordinates of the photo are: MASTCAM RIGHT SOL 186 ... :

what fascinates me more is the upper left hand corner.

on the close up, it looks like a head which has had to top of the skull whipped off like the shell of a soft boiled egg.

i can see a nose, and a pair of big lips (middle to lower left).

its a testimony to nature that its hard to tell how big it is.
or small!

are the rocks in the picture mountains...... or boulders?

i am kinda moving to the conclusion that they are smallish rocks,
and that the tower...... is probably no bigger that 1ft

cheers

Personally (just my opinion), "tower" seems a bit exaggerated as it appears to be barely more than the size of a large cup or mug (a few metres away from Rover). What interests me as much is the inverted "L" shaped piece lying on a rock to the upper left corner. It looks more like a thin, flat piece of metal - not rock. Also another little "tower" straight up from the one mentioned, near the top of the pic. Strange... ;)

Wow! This photo is not from a big area or taken from some altitude, this is a very close (to the rover) part of the ground and no, they're not boulders, they're just small rocks just as you'd see them when walking by, more or less the same distance from your eyes or even less than that. Sorry, no tower...

I would LOVE the job of working for Curiosity Rover team and seeing the actual footage everyday! I'm sure all the "good" photos are heavily censored, but some good photos have slipped through!

I wish those who work at Nasa would just stop it, and put the photos out that show the true colors of mars , blue skies, lakes, trees, do away with that whole red planet idea, we know mars is alot like earth... it might be a nice way to jump start disclosure, it people knew mars had cities, once was inhabited , and that humans were there first , then came to earth , we look in the mirror and see martians everyday ... we are ET's ...no one would freak out seeing themselves, the whole idea of ET would take a different turn... maybe we could avoid world war three if the masses were able to see first hand the mars that was devistated by world war in the past ... the once thriving cities of high technology , doomed by insane leaders with greedy ideas ...

Can't understand why they just didn't land at Cydonia in the first place. (Well I can ... tehe ;)

A few oddities in this pic as well (one object at the top middle of the pic and two either side of bottom middle of the pic).

Shiny-Looking Martian Rock
A shiny-looking Martian rock is visible in this image taken by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity's Mast Camera (Mastcam) during the mission's 173rd Martian day, or sol (Jan. 30, 2013).

Without more pics from more angles, we can only speculate, but they do seem to look like some kind of artefacts.

Thank you sdv - that one really is weird!
