South Tufa panorama. This is the place where the photographing of the iconic Pink Floyd album Wish You Were Here cover took place. The place is magical.
Mono Lake, California - as the water level drops more of the interesting shapes of the tufa formations become visible over time.
Mono Lake (/ˈmoʊnoʊ/ MOH-noh) is a large, shallow saline soda lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in an endorheic basin. The lack of an outlet causes high levels of salts to accumulate in the lake. These salts also make the lake water alkaline.
This desert lake has an unusually productive ecosystem based on brine shrimp that thrive in its waters, and provides critical habitat for two million annual migratory birds that feed on the shrimp and alkali flies. Historically, the native Kutzadika'a people derived nutrition from the Ephydra hians pupae, which live in the shallow waters around the edge of the lake.
When the city of Los Angeles diverted water from the freshwater streams flowing into the lake, it lowered the lake level, which imperiled the migratory birds.
Mono Cliffs Provincial Park. It's not a big park but it tells of important geology along the Bruce Trail in Ontario.
I had a very pleasant hike here in cool fall weather. No bugs, no people, just me and my thoughts (and my camera).

Mono Lake is een zoutmeer in de Amerikaanse staat Californië, in Mono County. Het ligt tussen de Sierra Nevada en de White Mountains, ten oosten van Yosemite National Park. Mono Lake staat bekend om de grillig gevormde zoutpilaren nabij de zuidwestelijke oever. De saliniteit (het zoutgehalte) is met 7,5% ruim tweemaal zo hoog als zeewater (3,5%).
Het meer is een zeer productief ecosysteem, en van grote betekenis voor talloze vogelsoorten die in de omgeving leven.
Well people, there wasn't much happening in the sky this past weekend, so I opted for a early sunrise silhouette shot at the south end of Mono Lake. The South Tufas to be exact. Hope you enjoy and have a great finish to this holiday weekend! - Rich
Mono Lake closer to sunset. There were SO many (over 100, for sure) photographers who showed up at sunset.
