OK, then how about this one which is easier to see (in the original anyway)

First the actual smoke coming out of a chimney...

and then the context photo so that you can find it in the above link. I considered whether it was a dune crest and I do not think it is as you can see the dune crests are a different colour.

As I said above, unfortunately I was looking at the panorama which is 9Mb large and I have not yet found the individual pictures.

qmantoo.

Please post the original url. If there is a stereo pair available I will make an anaglyph of the view.

It's pretty hard to find a single rock in a 10992 x 2827 pixel 360 degree panorama.

"Smoke" looks like the shadow of similar dunes nearby.

Find the original PanCam images used in the mosaic. See if there's a left/right pair. Make a stereo image. If it's smoke, it'll be obvious that it's hovering above the rock. If it's a shadow of a dune on the ground in the distance, then that too will be obvious.

With a stereo pair distance information can be determined. With two images separated in time motion information can be determined. If you don't have either of those, you just have to guess.

I never liked kippers - too many bones. Anyway..

Strangely, I feel this might be a chimney with smoke coming from it.
Radical thought, but just a theory. Any other theories as to what it might be?
