Illusions

I love space photography, especially the pictures coming back from worlds like Mars, Titan, Europa, and Enceladus. To see dry river beds or ice fissures or mountain ranges at the resolution we do from the distances they're taken is awesome. So this caught my eye.

See the mountains casting that long shadow to the west, and the riverbed on the east? That's a flat piece of marble about 18x9 inches in the Chinese restaurant here. Great Kung Pao chicken, too.
