They're both splendid indirect self-portraits. Both with aesthetically pleasing backgrounds. Of course, the one will remind you of the other...

Seriously, these images give you a feeling of "being there," and are therefore both attractive to the eye and memorable.

At last!
Since the very first moment she drove down the slope I was waiting for a shot like that.

And it looks like she could use a good bath!

Yestersol (sol 1484), more then one month after the last move into the Gilbert layer, Opportunity drove back to Lyell.
Here's the latest fhazcam image.

Curiously, she took a "drive-direction" pancam shot after drive looking into the general direction of Cape Verde.
Are we heading there?

I'll update the route map later on.

I hope we do drive over there.

Yeah...good-looking target area for sure. All that "talus" from the upper layers; nice collection of specimens, and the intervening terrain doesn't look too bad to traverse.

The major consideration's gotta be hours of sunlight per day for a given spot, though. Doesn't seem like we can afford to be in the shadows at all...

If that is the latest drive-direction set, I would imagine that the next target is in the foreground, rather than in the background. I am guessing that the next drive will be rather short.

Three meters. (Sol 1486)
In this slope I wouldn't call it "short".
