Mono Lake is unique. For starters, it's old--at least 700,000 years old and one of the oldest continuously existing lakes on the continent. Mono Lake is naturally salty and alkaline because it has no outlet. The only way water leaves is via evaporation. The Sierra streams that flow into Mono contain only trace amounts of minerals and salts but those minerals and salts stay and their concentrations, over the years, grow.

originally shot on tech pan. pulled this out for my desertusa.com story for next month. i rather like this image still. this was obviously shot when the water level was still very low in the lake.
on one of my first "all-by-myself" road trips - from the bay area to the mojave desert. where i first fell in love with the mojave and mono lake!

Mono Lake, CA has been partially drained by Los Angeles' unquenchable need for water. Today, the lake is a shadow of its former self, exposing the results of underwater geothermal activity built up through accretion. The formations, called Tufas, are otherworldly and would have been underwater if the lake had not been drained to such an extent. Currently there are plans to keep more water in the lake and perhaps someday these formations will be hidden again.

Found a couple older shots I kinda ignored for some reason. This was from the same evening as my other Mono Lake shot from the same location, except this was a bit earlier, when there was still some sunlight hitting the clouds. I wonder how I could've worked a vertical composition, placing a greater emphasis on the shoreline (while not cutting off the tufas in the distance).
I also remember having a ghetto tripod and one of its legs getting messed up after this shot (or during the making of this shot, actually). Fun times.
