<br />It might be natural or, well, a tourist attraction, hand crafted for the occasion, like a Ferris wheel or totem pole. <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">Yes, possible, possible, just like I said. Some of them might have some human intervention, and rule them out. But we don't know that yet, do we? Any more than we know your Martian Art is real. Although, I suspect we're going to find out alot sooner than I first thought.

We know that it's at least as elaborate as 90% of your Martian Art.

No.

Yes but elaborate what? The answer makes all the difference in the world.

<br />In other words ESA, NASA, like some participants of this board, seek to discredit the artificiality hypothesis, and "spinning" the story is not beyond them.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote"> I'm going to try very delicately to avoid being ad hominem with my response to this. Ok, here goes.

The vast majority of folks I've spoken to would never in a million years bother to try and discredit something that they think is silly. If you were to see the look on my wife's face when I show her context images of The West Candor Chama (GOOGLE MARS is great for that, because it has a "move to cursor" feature), and tell her that this is where most of the "art" is supposed to be, you would know by her look (which could best be expressed by the term "sheesh") that "trying to discredit" would be the last thing in the world that would ever occur to her, or just about anyone else. All I've been doing from the beginning is to try and show how this could all be pareidolia, like Fred and I believe, and to show you how you could prove that for your self.

But, it's ok, so please press on.

I'm not going to try to guess or comment on motives, besides it's verbotten (sic. Thats mean I'm not sure of spelling).

Easy now, Trinket. What's your point? Can we be more specific?

To continue with this little project: here's "Old Chief Smokey," posted previously as "pareidolia." In Kansas on the old Colorado trail, it's fairly obvious this is Indian (or primitive) art made out of a yardang. Note the step-pyramid like structure that forms the "bust" or mount for smokey. The probable art work fell down in 1986. Another example of postcard-art-as-science.
