Messing about in the raw images

A few new ones from Opportunity.

Third one down on the left, above that white-rimmed crater. Something caught my eye on the thumbnail.

What do you think? Camera/sun artifact (most likely)? Dust devil? Or, right above that deposit-laden crater...a volcanic plume? (I wish!)

I love geology and all, but can we get Opportunity out of this little sand pit and go out and start LOOKING AROUND? The plains are as smooth as a baby's bottom out there, and I want to see into that crater!
