In this VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on August 12th, 2013, and during its 51.735th orbit around the Red Planet, we can see part of the Floor of Coprates Chasma, including a large Sand Sheet and a few smaller Dunes.

This frame (taken from an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter b/w and Map-Projected frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 17517) has been additionally processed, magnified, contrast enhanced, Gamma corrected and then colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter and then looked down, towards the Surface of Mars), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.
