Opportunity's view
After looking at some of the recent photos taken by Opportunity I can't help but think it was indeed fortuitous that it landed where it did, in the middle of a crater with outcrops. Had it ended up in the middle of the flat plane it's in now it would have seemed like there is nothing to see but small sand dunes as far as the eye…er camera can see. Of course there's lots there to investigate but to the general public it would have been a disappointing view.
