Mono Lake, Eastern Sierra, California
A seagull swimming in Mono Lake, a saline lake on the eastern side of California. The formations on the left are tufa towers, calcium carbonate deposits created by up-welling springs. The towers were revealed after the lake's water levels dropped when the city of Los Angeles started drawing more water than could be replaced. A growing public uproar and lawsuits in the 1980s resulted in the stablization of the lake's water level.
As for the sea gull, I had had other plans that morning, but since the bird was not going anywhere, I made it part of the composition. Sometimes I do that with people as well.

Every day is a new day.
Everything to be invented,
everything to live,
all to enjoy.
The dawn puts him on the stage of your life,
and leaves.
The new day is yours, it belongs to you,
No one can take it away from you.
You can do whatever you want with it.
You can make it a masterpiece or a fiasco.
Because you are the subjectist...
Because you're the director...
Because you are the protagonist
...nicht immer leicht - in diesem Fall aber schon, denn ich folge einfach dem röter werdenden Farbton bis zum Herzen der Architektur ;-)
