Anyhoo, I not only found the original image, but went exploring and have now stumbled upon, what looks like to me, some sort of Martian Lovecraftian civilization. This is all NASA imagery in full colour and the only thing I have done is change contrast and brightness, as appropriate.

Not really, these are the Google Mars version of the original NASA high resolution images with some "adjustments" made by terminationshock.
This is what the original NASA version of the first image looks like.
I only rotated it 45º counter clockwise to aligned it more or less with the image from the opening post. I didn't change the perspective, that would have been silly.
This is the same image with levels adjusted by without any loss of data (you can see that the whites and blacks are not as extreme as in the OP's version).
And this is to get an idea of the size of those features.
Edited to add that I forgot to say that this is image PSP_006005_1515_RED from HiRISE.
