Trees on Mars?
A HiRISE image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showing trees on Mars... or so it appears!

(Image from this page - check out the "subimage")
Explanation from the page:
There is a vast region of sand dunes at high northern latitudes on Mars. In the winter, a layer of carbon dioxide ice covers the dunes, and in the spring as the sun warms the ice it evaporates. This is a very active process, and sand dislodged from the crests of the dunes cascades down, forming dark streaks.
Another discovery on the fine pages of batchbatcharak.

If you haven't met the very useful "site:" option in Google search before, which restricts your search to a particular site, try this link for fun (it produces a lot of good photos):
(you can refine the search by adding further keywords in the Google search box like animals or landscape, or playing with Google's Search tools)
