The Lake of Mono
MONO07D-1
July 14, 2007
It is fitting, perhaps, that this image was made in monochrome, as it is the infamous Mono Lake in California. Sitting just a hop away from the eastern edge of the Sierra, this lake has crazy rock formations jutting up from the center, reminiscent of the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. The water has been drained for irrigation, showing more and more of the rocks that had been submerged for centuries. The image, with the clouds and the seeming monotone of the rocks, was perfect for a black and white composition. The strong skies above helped accentuate the mood of the lake.
