Like Noctis said, that is from way above the surface, as Huygens parachuted to the surface. As well as taking pictures, it was sampling the atmosphere, so we'll probably get some definitive asnwers as to the make up of the atmosphere.

The wrinkles are likley canals where rivers flow. They may not flow anymore, or perhaps they are. ESA and NASA can figure that out.
