This image covers an impact crater on the northeast rim of Hellas basin, with excellent exposures of bedrock layers.
Here we see a portion of the steep inner slope where some of the bedrock has broken into angular pieces and slide partway down the slope.
Image is less than 5 km (3 mi) across and is 259 km (161 mi) above the surface. For full images including scale bars, visit the source link. (The light "line" is a furrow that occurred during processing of the data.)

The Discovery Tower is probably my favorite modern building in Houston. Why? There are so many angles in rows that don't necessarily line up with each other. You'd think that would drive me mad, but it doesn't.
It is hard to convey the sheer, massive size and height of the columns in a photo, but they are really something to behold. Because the sky was absolutely free of clouds on Saturday, I concentrated on architectural aspects rather than up-shots.
More detail from the City of London Information Centre beside St Paul's Cathedral where the building's "triangular plan has evolved from a consideration of the principal movement of pedestrians around the site, while the orientation and profile of the building establish an intriguing dialogue with St Paul’s."
Even worse, "a folded metallic envelope wraps 140m2 of internal accommodation... this solution minimises the thickness of the structural envelope" while "the panelisation of each elevation emphasises the crisp angularity of the folded form."
And there was me thinking it was just a kiosk for tourists.
Kandariya Mahadev Temple, Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh, India
The Kandariya Mahadeva temple was built during the reign of Vidyadhara (r. c. 1003-1035 CE). At various periods of the reign of this dynasty many famous temples dedicated to Vishnu, Shiva, Surya, Shakti of the Hindu religion and also for the Thirthankaras of Jain religion were built. This is without any doubt the largest and most magnificent temple in Khajuraho. The elegant proportions of this building and its sculptural detailing are the most refined examples of this artistic heritage of central India.
Kandariya Mahadev shares its high platform with the small Mahadev shrine and the medium - sized Devi The Kandariya Mahadeva Temple, 31 metres (102 ft) in height, is in the western complex, which is the largest among the three groups of the Khajuraho complex of temples. This western group of temples, consisting of the Kandariya, Matangeshwara and Vishvanatha temples, is compared to a "cosmic design of a hexagon (a yantra or Cosmo gram)" representing the three forms of Shiva. The temple architecture is an assemblage of porches and towers which terminates in a shikhara or spire, a feature which was common from the 10th century onwards in the temples of Central India.
The temple is founded on a massive plinth of 4 meters (13 ft) height. The temple structure above the plinth is dexterously planned and pleasingly detailed. The superstructure is built in a steep mountain shape or form, symbolic of Mount Meru which is said to be the mythical source of creation of the world. The superstructure has richly decorated roofs which rise in a grand form terminating in the shikara, which has 84 miniature spires. The temple is in layout of 6 square kilometers (2.3 sq. mi), of which 22 are extant including the Kaṇḍāriyā Mahādeva Temple. This temple is characteristically built over a plan of 31 meters (102 ft) in length and 20 metres (66 ft) in width with the main tower soaring to a height of 31 meters (102 ft), and is called the "largest and grandest temple of Khajuraho". A series of steep steps with high rise lead from the ground level to the entrance to the temple. The layout of the temple is a five-part design, a commonality with the Lakshmana and Vishvanatha temples in the Khajuraho complex. Right at the entrance there is torana, a very intricately carved garland which is sculpted from a single stone; such entrances are part of a Hindu wedding procession. The carvings on the entrance gate shows the "tactile quality of the stone and also the character of the symmetrical design" that is on view in the entire temple which has high relief carvings of the figurines. Finely chiseled, the decorative quality of the ornamentation with the sharp inscribed lines has "strong angular forms and brilliant dark-light patterns". The carvings are of circles, undulations giving off spirals or sprays, geometric patterns, masks of lions and other uniform designs which has created a pleasant picture that is unique to this temple, among all others in the complex.
Zuriza está situado en el curso alto del río Veral (afluente del río Aragón), a pie del Pirineo aragonés. Dicho río recorre su territorio de norte a sur.
Geográficamente, conforma un valle, el valle de Zuriza, cerrado por el norte por el monte Abizondo y Peña Ezcaurri. Hacia el este del valle de Zuriza se levanta la cadena montañosa de los Alanos, consistente en un conjunto de montañas calizas con abundantes quebradas y barrancos.
En la zona norte de los Alanos existe un bosque de hayas (fagos o faus en aragonés), mientras que en el lado occidental del barranco de Zuriza pueden encontrarse diversas pináceas, en especial predomina el pino silvestre o pino royo. El hayedo de Zuriza está considerado como el único bosque puro de hayas existente en Aragón.
