Fantastic and unbelievable stuff. Almost every single one looks computer generated! Whenever I see Mars images I'm always reminded nostalgically of Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars" series of books, which are superbly evocative and amazingly accurate considering they were written years before such imagery as this was available. It's a long-term dream of mine to have Terragen used as part of a mini-series production of it. ;D

Also kudos to The Boston Globe's "Big Picture" blog maintained by Alan Taylor. Probably *the* best place to go on a regular basis for a wide variety of stunning imagery with useful and interesting captions.

Thanks for the post!

Some of these do look Mars-like, but others I'm like, "What the crap!"
#1: Weird art
#4: Alien wound?
#11: Ooh, shiny...
#16: That looks like Triton!
#20: ?!?!?
#22: Microorganisms?

I'd say half of these are possible in Terragen and the other half will have to wait for procedural erosions.
