Rocks and Salt
Salty bushes and tufa after sunset.
Mono Lake is known for its tufa calcium carbonate rock formations that form underwater where springs bring calcium-rich water to the alkaline lake. In the fall the winds are less at Mono Lake, so sunsets tend to get calm. The alkaline waters of the lake are nearly 3X saltier then the ocean.
Captured while leading a seminar for the Mono Lake Committee in November 2019. Lori Hibbett and I will be leading another Mono Lake Moon Rise and Winter Light workshop at Mono Lake December 17-19, 2022.
