It's amazing the similarities that can be found on our neighbor planet. This could easily be mistaken for an overcast day somewhere in Nevada. This photo was taken by Curiosity rover on March 19 2021 and is a tiled mosaic of 21 images.

It’s also amazing that the sky on Mars is tinted blue at sunrise and sunset. It’s theorized that an astronaut on mars would perceive the sky as bluer since there are lower light levels. A clear morning on Mars could also be mistaken for a clear day in Nevada
Yeah, it'd be pretty cool to see red skies during the day fade to a beautiful blue sunset.
