    I have seen many images with boulders together with blotches but this image has red boulders. top left and the boulders, upper right look to have a reddish tinge to them. Why are they red?

    If you do not mean those obvious glitches, most likely, the reddish tinge is because of color-filters' mismatch. It happens that elevated features get colorful halos because each of color filters has a tiny angle to the others.
