I thought these rock formations at Birnbeck Pier acted as nice lead in lines for this image. Captured just minutes after sundown when the beautiful pink glow was beginning to show.
Amazing and bizarre pattern and formations in the puddles frozen last night. What looks like long thin leaves (like maybe from an iris plant) are actually just ice patterns. The wavy lines are raised ice ridges. Very cool.

“Tufa, Dawn” — Mono Lake tufa formations under cloudy sunrise sky.
My most common way to approach Mono Lake photographically is to focus on the immense scale of the pace rather than on closer elements of the landscape. I like to set tufa towers against distant desert hills under the wide sky, or perhaps place them in front of the distant eastern face of the Sierra Nevada stretching away to the north. Initially I was doing something like that here, focusing on those offshore towers and using somewhat short focal lengths to take in the wider scene. But then I thought to include a bit of this closer tower at the right side of the frame.
The closer tower changes things in several ways. It obviously adds one of those “intimate landscape” elements to the scene, as it is mere feet away from my camera position. Because it extends a bit into the water it interrupts the small waves and creates “white water surf” in miniature at its base. But most of all, I think that it creates a sense that we are looking past it and into the larger space of the lake, the distant towers, and the desert mountains at the horizon.
These planes were seen flying in precise formation over Lake Balboa, Van Nuys CA. I believe these are WWII planes - perhaps the North American AT-6 Texan. Not a plane expert - just tried looking up on the web. So, please correct. I would be interested to know the correct ID.

These brown pelicans typically fly up and down the dunes on the Texas coast in a formatiion, usually abreast but in a diagonal, like these. Usually their formation is a bit neater, but not many were out there during this visit.
Large chamber inside the Capricorn Caves. There are a couple examples of old limestone formations in this shot. Weddings and music recitals are able to be performed in this chamber.
Notice the tree root that has entered the cave from outside on the right.

I love cloud formations..Sometimes they are even what I would call a scary beauty.
We had a lot of severe weather in our state a few days ago.. It was very windy here in the Twin Cities, but we were lucky as the sky looked threatning but it cleared up . Unfortunatley a couple towns did get hit with tornadoes..
I just heard today that Brazil is having some tremendous floods..Let's say a prayer for those people...
Estero Bluffs State Park,
San Luis Obispo Co., California
Adventures with Nature docent friend Norma took us for a walk at Estero Bluffs, a place that is very familiar to me. But I don't know the rocks and she does--she really gets distracted by them. Thanks for the lessons, Norma.

Monument Valley (Navajo: Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, pronounced [tsʰépìːʔ ǹtsɪ̀skɑ̀ìː], meaning "valley of the rocks") is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, with the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. The most famous butte formations are located in northeastern Arizona along the Utah–Arizona state line. The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation, the Native American people within whose reservation it lies.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Famed director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns. Film critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles [13 km2] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West".

History
Before human existence, the Park was once a lowland basin. For hundreds of millions of years, materials that eroded from the early Rock Mountains deposited layer upon layer of sediment which cemented a slow and gentle uplift, generated by ceaseless pressure from below the surface, elevating these horizontal strata quite uniformly one to three miles above sea level. What was once a basin became a plateau.
Natural forces of wind and water that eroded the land spent the last 50 million years cutting into and peeling away at the surface of the plateau. The simple wearing down of altering layers of soft and hard rock slowly revealed the natural wonders of Monument Valley today.
From the visitor center, you see the world-famous panorama of the Mitten Buttes and Merrick Butte. You can also purchase guided tours from Navajo tour operators, who take you down into the valley in Jeeps for a narrated cruise through these mythical formations. Places such as Ear of the Wind and other landmarks can only be accessed via guided tours. During the summer months, the visitor center also features Haskenneini Restaurant, which specializes in both native Navajo and American cuisines, and a film/snack/souvenir shop. There are year-round restroom facilities. One mile before the center, numerous Navajo vendors sell arts, crafts, native food, and souvenirs at roadside stands.
