## Caption

Is the Mars Curiosity rover playing in the sand again? No, all work, all the time! Our Curiosity Mars rover has driven within robotic-arm's reach of the sandstone slab at the center of this view from the rover's Mast Camera (Mastcam). The rover team plans to have Curiosity examine a target patch on the rock, called "Windjana," with tools on the rover's arm and mast to aid a decision on whether to use Curiosity's drill at this site.

The rock is about 2 feet (about 60 centimeters) across, left-to-right in this image.  The informal name for the target comes from Windjana Gorge in Western Australia.
