The Third day of our workshop we went out at dawn to Mono Lake. It was to be the longest day of the workshop and I didn't sleep at all the night before so felt pretty crummy, but it was worth getting up for- glorious colors and reflections.
I just got home from my anniversary celebration trip with Jim and promise I will have new pictures tomorrow. Thanks so much for your fabulous response to my CARMA milky way shot. I love it when you like one of my favorites. I'm behind on my commenting but will get to it soon.
A slight correction. This is Mono Lake. I heard there were so many workshops there that people were cutting in front of each other at sunrise, causing a lot of tension. Did you see any of that? If I may answer Issi's question, underwater springs carried minerals from openings on the bottom of the lake and deposited them as Tufa Towers underwater. When the water level at Mono Lake dropped, the towers were exposed. I think it is one of the most interesting places on earth. The salmon colored light is just gorgeous in your beautiful photo. @jamibann
@rvwalker I guess I missed spell miss correcting! The photographers there that day were fairly civilized...lots of classes though. Horrifying to see how low it was
@jgpittenger We can thank Los Angeles for the low water at Mono Lake. They have diverted inlet streams for their municipal water supply, so Mono Lake doesn't receive enough water to replace what evaporates. There is no outlet.
What fabulous colours! I went to Mono Lake a couple,of years ago and it took my breath away - so beautiful and so unexpected (if you hadn't read the guide book like me!)
