Unnamed Southern Crater with "Blooming" Gully (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)

Caption NASA:"This observation shows Mid-Latitude-Type Gullies as well as dark and light materials. Brown/orange Dunes in this Unnamed Crater can also be seen (East of the Gully Aprons). One of the more stunning features is the Gully formation right outside the center swath of the full image.
At HiRISE resolution, we can examine whether there has been activity in the Gullies that post-dates the placement of windblown materials, like Boulders down the Slopes. We can also gather information to help determine the processes responsible for Gully formation".
