Hi Mike,

It looks like you caught the sun angle just about right, the fault shows very well with no over exposed areas as you see sometimes and the breaks along the fault are very detailed, another excellent image.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Mike -

This and your new Plato region image are both excellent!

The straight wall is such a popular feature - I wonder why it didn't merit a more unique name. I've thought a good moniker for the region might be "Birt and Ernie" - what do you think?

best wishes -
Alan
