Great exposure, Gordon.

Very sharp image, I love the sand blown ridge. How big was that "crater"? (no way to judge without something to provide size perspective)

Very nicely seen. ..mike ;-} #943830

Hi Michael, the front ridge is probably about 100m long from left to right. I might post some later with people in them, for scale. #943868
