Mono Lake
Mono is an ancient (1 million + years) alkaline lake that is highly photographed for it's forms of tufa (calcium carbonate pinnacles), deposits formed over thousands of years underwater (now left exposed because the lake level is low, but rising). This is a shot from South Tufa. Although you cannot see it here, there is an Osprey nest on the highest tufa.
