Looking back at pyramid rock

Here is a great view of the pyramid-shaped rock Jake Matijevic, taken by the Curiosity rover as it leaves and continues on its way toward Glenelg. The image is a fish-eyed view from the Hazcam cameras. In a nice juxtaposition, Mount Sharp can be seen in the distance behind the rock. The effect is rather dramatic, with the rock sitting isolated out on the alluvial fan plains inside Gale crater.
