Mono Lake, a photo from カリフォルニア, West

Photographer's Note

Hello all, sunset at the lake was spectacular. This part of the lake is called South Tufa. There are several beaches that are good for photography but I believe this beach is the most famous for photography because of the tufa structures. The colors were still soft in the sky at this moment. About 15 minutes later the sky lit up with reds and fuchsia colors. I walked over to a different side but there were so many other photographers there I couldn't set up my tripod. The other side has views of the eastern sierras looking toward Mammoth Mountain.
"Located in California's spectacular Eastern Sierra, Mono Lake is an oasis in the dry Great Basin and is a vital lake for migratory and nesting birds."

La lumi鑽e du moment donne d'騁onnantes couleurs � ces 騁onnantes formations g駮logiques du Mono Lake. Bel effet sur l'eau cr鳬 par la longue pose.

On my bucket list--visit Mono Lake, except I keep putting it off. Someday! Love the colors of those rocks and I like the effect of the slow speed on the mood. Good lighting and nice details. Very well done, tfs.

Howdy Karen,

Interesting soft focus, low pastel lighting with milky water makes the tufa a magic sight. You made a tufa image different from the typical 'tripod' scenes on the other side...

Good job,
Cheers,
Ray
