Nice Mars Mission photos
A few nice Mars mission images I found:
[365 Toy Project: 098/365] Manned Mars Mission Meets Mysterious Machine
Image by nhussein
I am really pleased with this photo. It’s not a great Photoshop job, but it has:
1. A photo taken on another planet – this is an actual shot of Mars taken by the Mars Rovers! Thank you NASA!
2. A horrible pun for TRP – Doctored Photos (get it? get it?)
3. A playful title (thanks for making it perfect, Sakurawind)
The background is a picture of Husband Hill on Mars, taken by the Spirit rover, and public domain! I told myself I’d have an actual alien planet in my 365, and now thanks to the Mars rovers I have both the spirit and the opportunity! Ha! I punned again!
The TARDIS here is a derivative work of a CC-licensed picture: TARDIS by World Of Oddy.
Mars is coming….
