Seems a stretch

Bowser — 12/25/2006 11:18:50 PM (archived)

From the numerous shadows in small craters, it seems the sun is on the left, and fairly low to the horizon. If that's the case, the diagonal dark areas are shadows from a raised "wall", not a sunken or collapsed tube.

I'm sure I'm missing something, and I sure don't know what it is.
