Blue Lagoon

Mono Lake, California

Nikon D300, Nikkor 12-24mm, F/13, 1/20s

Mono lake is unique, it has no outlet, and its waters are naturally salty. Over the years calcium carbonate made its way to the surface from underground springs to create a phenomena known as tufa. Tufa (pronounced "toofah") are the towers I photographed above. The towers became visible when the City of Los Angeles diverted the water that flowed into the lake.
