061: Mono Lake. The wind was blowing so hard it was difficult at best to keep the camera still even on a tripod. It was challenging to get a usable photo

Alejandro Mono González (Curicó, región del Maule; 2 de marzo de 1947) es un artista y escenógrafo chileno, reconocido por sus trabajos en murales con temática social.
Durante 1969, participó en un grupo de trabajo creando murales, durante la campaña del entonces candidato a la presidencia Salvador Allende; entonces se creó la Brigada Ramona Parra, con la cual seguirá trabajando durante los siguientes años. Cercano al pintor chileno Roberto Matta, trabajaron en coordinación con la Brigada y habitantes de la comuna de La Granja en el mural El primer gol del pueblo chileno.
The Mono–Inyo Craters are a volcanic chain of craters, domes and lava flows in Mono County, Eastern California. The chain stretches 25 miles (40 km) from the northwest shore of Mono Lake to the south of Mammoth Mountain. The Mono Lake Volcanic Field forms the northernmost part of the chain and consists of two volcanic islands in the lake and one cinder cone volcano on its northwest shore. Most of the Mono Craters, which make up the bulk of the northern part of the Mono–Inyo chain, are phreatic (steam explosion) volcanoes that have since been either plugged or over-topped by rhyolite domes and lava flows. The Inyo Craters form much of the southern part of the chain and consist of phreatic explosion pits, and rhyolitic lava flows and domes. The southernmost part of the chain consists of fumaroles and explosion pits on Mammoth Mountain and a set of cinder cones south of the mountain; the latter are called the Red Cones.
Eruptions along the narrow fissure system under the chain began in the west moat of Long Valley Caldera 400,000 to 60,000 years ago. Mammoth Mountain was formed during this period. Multiple eruptions from 40,000 to 600 years ago created the Mono Craters and eruptions 5,000 to 500 years ago formed the Inyo Craters. Lava flows 5,000 years ago built the Red Cones, and explosion pits on Mammoth Mountain were excavated in the last 1,000 years. Uplift of Paoha Island in Mono Lake about 250 years ago is the most recent activity. These eruptions most likely originated from small magma bodies rather than from a single, large magma chamber like the one that produced the massive Long Valley Caldera eruption 760,000 years ago. During the past 3,000 years, eruptions have occurred every 250 to 700 years. In 1980, a series of earthquakes and uplift within and south of Long Valley Caldera indicated renewed activity in the area.
The region has been used by humans for centuries. Obsidian was collected by Mono Paiutes for making sharp tools and arrow points. Glassy rock continues to be removed in modern times for use as commercial scour and yard decoration. Mono Mills processed timber felled on or near the volcanoes for the nearby boomtown Bodie in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Water diversions into the Los Angeles Aqueduct system from their natural outlets in Mono Lake started in 1941 after a water tunnel was cut under the Mono Craters. Mono Lake Volcanic Field and a large part of the Mono Craters gained some protection under Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area in 1984. Resource use along all of the chain is managed by the United States Forest Service as part of Inyo National Forest. Various activities are possible along the chain, including hiking, bird watching, canoeing, skiing, and mountain biking.

The Mono County Courthouse in Bridgeport, California, opened on April 1, 1881. It still operates as the county courthouse, but also hosts cliff swallow nests during the spring and summer nesting season.
Tufa formations at Mono Lake. Mono Lake is on the Eastern side of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. The lake is 80 times more alkaline and 2 1/2 times more salty than the ocean. Freshwater springs flowing into the lake and reacting with the minerals formed the calcium carbonate spires. To imaginative minds the tufa appear to be ancient castles rising from the water. Mono Lake is a dramatic and unique part of California. And you thought California was all Disneyland and Hollywood!

Mono Lake is a large, shallow saline lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in a basin that has no outlet to the ocean. Because it lacks an outlet, dissolved salts make the lake very alkaline and saline.
Currently, Mono Lake is in a geologically active area at the north end of the Mono–Inyo Craters volcanic chain and is close to Long Valley Caldera. Volcanic activity continues in the Mono Lake vicinity: the most recent eruption occurred 350 years ago, resulting in the formation of Paoha Island seen center-frame.
