Description

Far away from the glider in Olympus Mons, The Mars-1 shuttle prepares its landing approach at the Utopia base, still 80 km away. The wing parachute is extended. Unfortunatly, a dust storm is growing at Utopia and the new visitors and settlers won't be able to see or to explore much of Mars for the next weeks. Also, the storm is approaching dangerously of the Utopia landing track, which leaves barely 20 minutes to the pilot to land in the red dust...or die, because after that, visibility will be zero.

Really good image, I didnt understand it was like a wingglider at first. But well that my problem right? :) Then one wonder if we will explore Mars and if things will be like that in the not so far future. So yes, you got me thinking. :)

Thanks Bobby. I forgot to say that the backround was calculated in Terragen. Twisted, you're right, it's difficult to vizualize with only one POV. I'm gonna submit another today.
