Owens Lake, Ca
Last year I got to go on a great photo trip with a friend and his son. They brought along an old film camera to shoot black and white images. His son was setting up for a reflection picture here at Owens Lake. The only thing missing was great clouds.
I learned a lot about the lake on this trip. I always thought the lake was closed to the public when driving by because of all the large trucks driving along the roads in the lake. I thought they were mining a mineral. Wrong, the trucks are spreading water along the lake bed to keep down the dust. The city of LA lost a law suit because they divert the water that naturally goes to the lake bed and it became a dust bowl causing a lot of health problems to people living on this side of the Sierras. But you can drive on the roads and the lake is open to the public. When we learned that, off we went to take pictures.
