I got up early one morning to catch the good light at Mono Lake.As the sun peaked over the White Mountains in the east, the Sierra Nevada glowed in the west. The tufa towers, formed when fresh water springs containing calcium bubble up through the carbonate rich lake water, looked other worldly.Even the dry desolation of the area looked beautiful in the early morning light.
Just back from a week in the Sierra Nevada. We were in the Eastern Sierra and theTioga Pass, and Tuolumne Meadows areas.These photos are from a hike we did yesterday in the Twenty Lakes Basin.This scene reminded me of a Rothko painting.
The Pyramids are a part of the MAH’s Common Ground- place inspired outdoor artworks. Here two workmen shovel sand creating a pyramid.The artwork is the idea and design of Jim and Brighton Denevan. Currently on display at Cowell Beach.
