So far images of Victoria - from orbit and from the ground, as Oppy approaches - have been tantalising at best, and frustrating at worst. What does everyone think we've seen so far, and what features do you think we'll see as Oppy approaches and later, when she finally arrives?

The dark streaks at Victoria are different than we've seen anywhere before. Whereas the downwind streaks at Gusev are sharply-defined and convergent, the streaks at Victoria are soft-edged and divergent. Clearly aeolian, but not DD-features.
