Japanese post-rock quartet, Mono, were in town and performing at La Sala Rossa. Even without an orchestra providing backing, the band tore the place to shreds in an epic performance of what was mostly tracks from their latest album, Hymn to the Immortal Wind, that is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Mono Lake is an alkaline and hypersaline lake in Mono County, California. It has an unusually productive ecosystem, and is a critical nesting habitat for several bird species. Mono Lake contains GFAJ-1, a rod-shaped extremophile bacterium in the family Halomonadaceae that, when starved of phosphorus, is capable of incorporating the usually poisonous element arsenic. Mono Lake is believed to have formed at least 760,000 years ago, dating back to the Long Valley eruption. Sediments located below the ash layer hint that Mono Lake could be a remnant of a larger and older lake that once covered a large part of Nevada and Utah, which would put it among the oldest lakes in North America
Test shot of the (finally) successful Debayering ( Mono conversion) CMOS sensor of a Canon 350D using a literally broken lens :) Some small areas on the top still have colour as it is way too dangerous to remove the bayer layer so near the sensor golden wires.

Annette Gil held her release concert for the cd "Desert Disco" at Cafe Mono in Oslo, Norway. This is her first cd release as a solo artist.
While exploring the Eastern Sierras, I captured this shot of a tufa reflection around sunset on the shores of Mono Lake.
I like the contrasting layers, the reflecting tufa, and the warm golden grass.
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.
