I’ve been thru here during an amazing winter fiery sunset reflecting off the lake while these outcroppings were completely black. Was super cool.

Hark! You are witnessing the arrival of Shangela, blessed by thy presence and thrice received champion who wears not yet a crown. Hail Shangela! Hail!

I have a very very similar picture of when I visited. Now I want to go back

I should explore more often. Amazing

Reminds me of Pink Floyds Wish you were here inside sleeve picture. So serene.

so this is what alien trees look like lol

clearly not a recent picture, with all the snow they've been having.

The walk up to that point is fantastic.

How do you get the image so crisp

The lake wouldn't recommend you either.

Strongly disagree.

Special as in wide angle and still rectilinear. On a camera that isn't standard at all especially with good glass. Phones have definitely come a long way though.

I have seen these tufa tower way out of the water when you can walk around them. This summer the lake will probably be very high and the Tufa will be out "there". I never took any Tufa from Mono Lake for my rock gardens. You can find Calcium deposits out at Pyramid Lake Nevada. A less salty lake, It has huge fish. It is out on an Native American area and is north of Reno NV on the East slope of the Sierra.

You made my day, never would have guessed, it's on Google Maps even !

This and the Dingle Peninsula, we’re some of my favorite places to explore when I went to Ireland.

Would not recommend - muddy, filled with flies and smells terrible

Quick get the gold

Really wish Tufa wasn’t so rare. I learned all to late how nice it is to use for terrariums, aquariums and decorative plantings/mountings. Moss also grows SOOO well on it. Alas mono lake is the only Place I know of where it can be found these days and you can’t collect it anymore. Artificial tufa sucks in comparison

Mono Lake is a salty lake (no natural outlet river) that is located on Rt 395, at the end of the hwy 120 out of Yosemite National Park in the East Slope of the Sierra Nevada. It has a great number of "salt flies" and very small shrimp (sea monkeys) It is a place where Pacific sea gull go to breed on the volcanic islands that in wet years are islands. The area is very scenic with volcanic cones, tufa towers (spring fed calcium deposits) It is at Lee Vining California. Due East from Yosemite in Central California.

Haha I had to run from the parking lot to catch the sun right before it fell beyond the horizon.

Been there. The whole Wicklow Mountains area is amazingly beautiful. Wild heather, gorgeous lakes, winding roads…. Damn I need to go back.

Holy cow! I knew I should have waited for sunset!

Gorgeous shot but pics never do it full justice. I didn't realize how massive that canyon is until I saw it in person and I was blown away.
