Incidently - why 2 pictures: the 2nd being a reverse angle of the first?

This is a sort of "FACTORY AREA".
Oh well, my PaintshopPro abillities are not that good. But its not a shuttle. Look at the "misplaced " pipe. Its not parralel.

It's interesting looking, but whatever it is, it isn't a shuttle. They're designed for earth orbit only, right?

ok, i found the "object" on the image and have run it through a few filters in photoshop and it seems to have cleaned it up a bit ..... see what you think.
Typical wind speeds in the Martian atmosphere exceed 200 km/hr (or 125 miles/hr). Gusts can often reach 500 to 600 km/hr (or 300-375 miles/hr). Typical Wind speeds at the surface during a dust storm, as measured by the Viking landers, are typically about 30 m/sec (or 67.5 miles/hr).
In addition, wind eroded parallel ridges, called yardang on Earth, can also be found on Mars...yardangs that resemble inverted keels of sailboats that are arranged parallel to each other...

Internos, amazing find!! Flagged and starred!
I've outlined what I think I perceive to be. More intriguing is the structure on the left of the crater....
Cheers! Keep looking. The truth is out there!!

Nice work, scepticsRus!
I turned your image over on it's side, from this perspective it looks like a structure that has toppled over, it's legs having buckled as it collapsed.
Not unlike a structure built upon pylons.
Judging from the coherent direction of the streaks/lines pointed out by Pjotr, I would venture to guess it may have fallen in line with the prevailing winds.
There's also a good explanation concerning the color differences of the streaks from the same site:
Or, disappointingly, all these features could simply be Martian yardangs:

I like to entertain the thought, however, that what we see here is an artificial structure, quite possibly of ancient lineage, that has succumbed to the ever-present winds of the ages.
goosdawg, thank you for your analysis on this thread.
I have to say that i kept these pics away for some days before decide to post them in order to read interesting opinions like yours.
Ad yours are not only opinions, but possible solutions to the enigma whic have some basis, and i appreciate it.
I've watched many pics of the area similar the one of the pic, and of many others area of Mars.
Since i don't like to look as one who wants to deceive the people, i said from the start that i'm not claming that this is a spaceship or somehow something that is not natural. Anyway, after seeing some (thousands, maybe?) pics from Mars i can safely state that i've never seen something "similar" nor "alike": i state it honestly, basing what i state on what i've actually seen.
What is sure so far is that they looks to be 3D objects, with straight lines and other geometric parts, composed by materials which looks different from the surroundings, and of a certain complexity: many things looks geometric in them, but maybe i'm the only who see it so, and this would mean that i'm wrong, and the thread should be closed, and i would accept it peacefully. What we're interested to is the thruth, and the truth may have a nice face or a hugly one: it doesn't matter what face it will have this time, what is important is that it will be the one of the truth
To be correct, i have to say too that so far what is missing is the SYMMETRY: and the symmetry is always a good clue.
I'm having hard time to find pics from the same area: i'd like that some experts from that planet could help us. Of course i noticed that its orientation matches the direction of the wind: but some artifacts could have been developed to behave exactly so. And it looks to have a shadow below, at least IMHO (its more visible in some other enlargements, smaller than this one).
What i mean is that a pic of the same area would be much helpful in order to try to understand its origin, but the analysis so far have been all interesting and i say "thanks to everyone"!

The left structure looks more like two walls with something in between. You also can see 2 box shaped objects in front of eachother. I think the "device" in between the two walls is more like something you came up with then the "elephant" thing I pointed out earlier.
btw: Dont you see the "pipe" on the right structure? It appears to be not in the same allignment as the main structure.
It could accommodate a drilling machine? Or its the top of a pipe going into the ground?
As longer as I look at it, this is absolute one of the most significant pics of mars.
