It never ceases to amaze me when I see pics that look like they could have been taken anywhere on earth, but no that's on another planet and humans put a little hole there!

I am amazed how quickly and how many images we get from another planet....

For those that might not know, http://www.curiosityrover.com is a great site for the image feed, if you scroll down you can see the CHEMCAM images of the most recent drilled holes.

I also had to double check the picture wasn't just for illustration purposes of a hole. The structures really looks like dried mud.
