This is really good. The alberto features are there! My Mars has a very plain feature...
Clear skies,

thanks boothee. Nice shot.
I do notice that this year, all the mars pics do not feature the polar caps prominently. Is there a reason for this?

It seems like the American can see the polar cap in their reports. Maybe it's our latitude that hides it?
Clear skies,
Robin.
