These stunning images are not dreamed up by some photoshopping whizzkid, they are actual NASA photos from Mars. Stunning landscapes. You can find more information and an amazing set of 34 photos (including exact Google Mars locations!) on The Big Picture:
“Since 2006, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been orbiting Mars, currently circling approximately 300 km (187 mi) above the Martian surface. On board the MRO is HiRISE, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera, which has been photographing the planet for several years now at resolutions as fine as mere inches per pixel.”
