Oh... did I forget to mention, these pictures were taken when Mars still had water.  Chek out the atmospheric perspective... way hot!


 
I love the way the texture map fell in exactly the right place to make the little sand bars in the foreground look like they are actually wet.  The sky reflectionin the water is much too turquoise here - there is so much red dust in the much thinner Martiain atmosphere that the sky color ranges from deep blue at the zenith, to lavender, to warm pink at the horizon...

I couldn't spend any more time tweaking these pix, cuz I had to come home to feed Kitties...!  This landscape was created entirely by accident - using the Edit Object module in Bryce...  I was painting my own custom landscape, and I tried the terrace filter, but it terraced the entire landscape, not just the ground features... so I decided to play around with it and see how it came out.
This is the result. Maybe later I'll add a Martian Princess.

*new pix* 
The highlands of Mars, with some dunes in the foreground... which were created using a fractal image (a Julia spiral).  In this image, the sky color and lighting are more accurate. 

If you'd like to see another planet that might have life... go to Europa!!
