Default "Racetrack Playa" on Mars

Hello,

Not exactly the Racetrack Playa in Death Valley, but just look at this
stone:

Do you notice the grove that the stone sits in? Isn't this nice? My
guess is: (a) wind shadow; or (b) some old crack that the stone
happened to slide to at some point.

I decided to post this, because by some reason I find the three images
quite beautiful; maybe there is somebody else who would enjoy them.

Regards,

- Alex
