    Frank, simply amazing detail in a very complex area. Fantastic rendering! These two have always reminded me of the flow of debris that coursed over the area after the Imbrium impact. There is almost a feel of a liquid flow through them. Rich
    Rich, Thanks for your compliments. It just never ends, the beauty of the lunar landscape and the ancient history. Frank
