Over the last couple weeks, I’ve put together over two dozen anaglyphs from Sol 0 (landing) through Sol 11. I’m particularly satisfied with the results of this Sol 11 picture:
All the images can be seen in my Flickr set. And Flickr members (free!) can enjoy the images in their full glory–up to 1024×1024 resolution!

This is much better. Credit goes to this page for the PaintShopPro-specific how-to.
This won’t be as compelling as those beautiful pseudo-color panoramas that the fine folks at JPL and the University of Arizona will be putting together in the next couple days. Nevertheless, this 3D image I’ve put together gives you a sense of standing in the northern polar region of Mars and looking down at your feet. Click on the image to get the full-size version from Flickr.
The picture is composed from images (1,2) captured by both cameras of the Surface Stereo Imager on Sol 0. I used Paint Shop Pro to merge the images and an old pair of cardboard red-and-blue 3D glasses to test the results.
