It is a legitimate picture of Mars. The website ( 360cities.net ) requires tagging pictures with an actual location so they had to write a location and picked New Mexico.
That caused some confusion online making people think that the images are from a desert in New Mexico.


Quote from a website explains
Quote
“It is totally accurate — it is a wider-angle version of the existing photos put together,” Martin wrote in an email to TPM.
However, in the new Curiosity panorama, the 360Cities website’s geolocation feature appears to confuse the Mars Curiosity Rover’s image location as New Mexico.
Bodrov explained to TPM that this glitch was of a 360cities website requirement that all photos by tagged with a location. “It’s necessary to mark location, but there’s no locations outside of Earth,” Bodrov wrote, “But if you try to search ‘Mars’ it offers location in New Mexico, so it’s why older panoramas from Mars are also located here.”

Reuters has published a photo of a teleprompter obscuring President Barack Obama as he spoke during a campaign event at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, yesterday.
