Since 2006, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has been orbiting Mars, currently circling approximately 300 km (187 mi) above the Martian surface. On board the MRO is HiRISE, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera, which has been photographing the planet for several years now at resolutions as fine as mere inches per pixel.

The Martian landscapes are beautiful and I am falling short of words to describe their texture,pattern,color. Sit back and enjoy these images. Indeed we are fortunate to see such spectacular scenes.
