Best Of Mars Close-Up ( HQ Pics )
NASA'S Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has circled the red planet since 2006. It has the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on board - a camera that takes high-resolution images of the Martian surface.
Here are just a few of the thousands of shots that the camera has taken.
Trails left by dust devils on sand dunes intersect and expose dark material below.
Mars polar regions are of great interest as they are known to contain records of past atmospheric, environmental, and climate conditions.
The impact crater - 330m in diameter - is used to estimate the age of the surface.
More than 10 per cent of the surface area in the North of Mars is covered by windblown sand dunes.
This large crescent-shaped hill is located in a region where some dunes have been shrinking.
This image shows a dust devil blowing across the Martian surface.
Dust devils form when the temperature of the atmosphere near the ground is much warmer than that above.
The fading tracks of the Opportunity Rover near Victoria Crater.
The Victoria Crater, near the equator of Mars, is approximately 800m in diameter.
The distinctive shape is caused by erosion and crater wall material moving downhill. A field of sand dunes sits on the crater floor.
The orbiter snaps an avalanche in the planet's North Polar Scarps.
A portion of the Martian South Polar Cap shows layered formations created over many years.
This 4km-wide feature, near the edge of Mars's south polar cap, has previously been photographed by other orbiters in the 1970s.
The bright areas are covered by carbon dioxide frost and the "swiss cheese" terrain is typical of the region.
Part of a long valley in Elysium Region Volcanic Rise.
A seasonal polar cap of dry ice forms in the north polar region, covering a sea of dunes.
Each layer of deposits on the floor of Becquerel Crater are only a few metres thick.
The sediments may have come from windblown debris, volcanic ash in the sky, or a lake on the crater floor.
This area of hills in Aureum Chaos may have been caused by an outcrop of layered rock collapsing.
Incredible Junk Made Shadow Art Gallery !!
I know that these pictures are incredible work of art, but if you look closely, sometimes it blocked your imagination power and make you think forcefully that they are fake photography trick. So it is a big question that whether these are real shadow wonder or fake photography..!!
But whatever it may be, they look very cool and if these are real, then I must say that it is a real work of art..
What do you say about that..??

9. Title: "Mother's Day"
Ad copy: This year, Mum's giving me flowers.
I don't deserve them.
I deserve a good swift kick up the bum.
But Mums aren't like that. No matter how
badly you screw up they always say
"Never mind love, we all still love you."
Doesn't your Mum do that?
Unconditional. That's the word.
All that stuff about your life flashing before
your eyes is absolutely true.
And I couldn't believe it Mum, you were in
practically every scene.
And all those crappy movie scenes about
never telling people how much you love them
till it's too late? Well they're true too.
Mum, you gave me the gift of life, and what
did I do with it?
Played with it for a bit, then threw it away.
And now, after all those Mother's Days
I forgot because I was too busy with mates
or chasing after girls, what does she do?
She brings me flowers.
I never gave my Mum a thought as I was
flying down the road that night.
But I bet a little bit of her was thinking about
me as she watched TV in the hours before
that knock on the door.
My advice?
Treat this Mother's Day like it's your last.
Then spend a year making sure it isn't.
