Brilliant!
Completely got me.
I was getting quite huffy that this pic had been spoilt by the horizontal compression, then I clicked on the 'to fit your screen' link.
You have a wicked sense of humour.

Whoa...good catch. 
In case you didn't try, the full size image appears to be the original aspect ratio. Just click the actual image.
I never noticed how much of a fuss Spirit made about dragging the stuck wheel, but you can see how it's turned over the dirt.

I agree......
Looking at the horizontally compressed view I totally agree that the stuck wheel track looks like a road on the side of a hill. In addition to that the dark rocks on first glance looked like pine trees on the side of that hill.
After looking a little closer I realized that we didn't discover plant life on Mars after all.

I thought - Hey that looks like a fossilised forest of tree stumps!
Right up until I saw the bit about the picture compression....
