Tamarack Tufa Pyramid Lake

This is a shot of a Tufa Formation at Pyramid Lake. When I took this shot I was really shooting the sky, it was what I think of as a typical Nevada sky. These fluffy huge dramatic clouds, with a somewhat ominous feeling to them, seeming to hover over towering mountain peeks. in the spring and Summer. While they sky was awesome I needed something to add scale and draw your eyes to the clouds and that is when I found this rock formation.

 

" tu·faˈ

t(y)o͞ofə"

 

a porous rock composed of calcium carbonate and formed by precipitation from water, e.g., around mineral springs.

 

Check out some of my other shots of what I like to call Nevada's hidden Jewel
