You almost expect to see some old guy and his pack mule come up over the hill, don't you?

Those are very nice paranomic images of the martian surface, thank you for the link, I expect these to be composed by many images taken in the same area but at diferent angles and views, when putting them together, you have a 3 dimentional image.

All of the Mars landers (from Viking to the Phoenix lander which will arrive later this year) carry colour charts. By comparing the colour of the images which contain these charts NASA can produce images which replicate how Mars would look to the human eye. HOWEVER many of the images returned are taken in the infra-red region and so are not how he human eye would see them. Also NASA frequently colour enhances images, exaggerating colour images differences in order to make features stand out more. This is particularly useful in identifying minerals.
