Alien Ruins by spectra
This image is my entry for the Sijun challenge: "Alien ruins". I submitted it with the following description:
"Recent Images transmited by one the U.E.E.P (United Earth Exploration Probes) are quite astonishing! These megalithic structures are apparently ruins of a primitive, but intelligent life form.
These stones show elaborated "hand work" of paths, stairs, tunneling and stone alignments, similar (but much larger) to the menhir alignment found on Earth, at Carnac. The use of these alignments is unclear, but could be a sign of religious behaviors.
Most of the elaborated stone work is present at the top of the monoliths. An interesting comparison to do, is that Earth's creatures who use height for their nesting, do it to escape predators...
There are 2 kind of erosion that can be seen on these solid metamorphic rock. Frist we notice the recent wind and sand erosion, but there is also a strong evidence of water erosion which happend in a much distant past.
The limited sensor of the exploration probe were unable to detect any signs of alien life, but could identify a multitude of living micro-organisms.
A new exploration probe is being built and will be lunched in 3 years to prepare the terrain for a human expedition."
