More shots of the landing area can be found here, which corresponds to your pictures. The ridges may be the "hills" everyone is seeing on the horizon, but I have no idea of the scale of the photo or how far Mars' horizon is.

Note for future landers and rovers: How hard would it be to pop a small balloon with a microcamera loose on a data wire and run it up about a hundred feet to REALLY see where you are at?
