09. What does Venus look like up close and in real life? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Venus is a rocky barren dry planet. The surface photographs from the Soviet Venera 13 spacecraft are the earliest color pictures of Venus's surface. Venera 13 was the first of the Venera missions to include a color TV camera and the first to succeed in obtaining pictures since Venera 10. The lander touched down in March 1982. http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/photogallery-venus.html (See CDROM)
