OK, the desert off Kuwait's 7th Ring Rd, not Mars, but there is a certain resemblance...
Crap camera! Must stir myself to buy something better.
A US infantry medical unit sitting on his armoured medical vehicle is reflected in mirrored goggels as they have a break in the desert outside Kuwait City, March 11, 2003.
Bought it for me at least 15 years ago, gave it to my son when he was small and now my daughter has it. Not exactly the girliest toy, but she likes it.
Forgot the flash was switched off, so the thing actually kind of looks like it's coming at you underwater (which it would have done, if you'd been around at the time). Unintended cool effect, just a pity about the shiny plastic reflecting the light.

Kuwait parliament member Mosallam al barak (R) support Kuwaiti Airwayes employees that start a strike in Monday, Oct 24, 2011.The aim of the strike is to halt the aviation activity completely because of the failure of the Board of Directors of Kuwait Airways Corporation to implement the decision which was taken by the minister. The union has planned to stage strikes continuously during the Hajj season because this will incur huge losses for the KAC estimated to be millions of dinars — more than the salary increment demanded by the employees.

CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait — Soldiers from the 1st Theater Sustainment Command and the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) participated in various social and spiritual activities to celebrate the holiday season.
On Christmas Eve hundreds of service members, Department of Defense civilians and contractors gathered at a hangar decked out for the holidays. Put together by 1st TSC and 143d ESC Soldiers along with the helping hands of Morale, Welfare and Recreation employees, the event included a buffet dinner, a visit from St. Nicholas and a secret Santa gift exchange in front of a Christmas tree.
Several Soldiers and civilians demonstrated their singing or dancing skills on stage during a “Camp Arifjan’s Got Talent” show judged by members of the 143d ESC’s junior enlisted ranks.
Though the celebration generated much laughter and applause from the lively crowd, some Soldiers preferred to spend Christmas Eve at a more solemn venue.
Chaplains and chaplain assistants deployed to Camp Arifjan hosted a Christmas Eve vigil at the post chapel that evening. The nondenominational Christian service wove scripture readings and traditional Christmas carols before the congregation brought the service to its climax as it illuminated the chapel with hundreds of lit candles.
The celebration continued the next day with a 5k run and a Christmas feast served by the 1st TSC and 143d ESC’s senior leadership at Camp Arifjan’s Dining Facilities. The 143d ESC also hosted a barbecue lunch as well as various sporting activities such as volleyball and cornhole.

The National Assembly of Kuwait, known as the Majlis Al-Umma ("House of the Nation") (Arabic: مجلس الأمة), is the legislature of Kuwait. The current speaker of the Assembly is Jassem Al-Kharafi. The Emir unconstitutionally dissolved the National Assembly in 1986 and restored it after the Gulf War in 1992. The Emir has also constitutionally dissolved the Assembly several times—meaning that he dissolved it but allowed for elections immediately afterward.
