Mono Lake, California – Part 1 (Republished to correct an image display problem on website)

My son and I ventured back north of Lone Pine, California to explore more natural sites along US Highway 395.  Our first stop was Mono Lake.

I have seen photographs of the tufa in Mono Lake and looked forward to seeing these.  While the history of this lake and the science behind the natural creation of the tufa deposits are interesting, we were a bit disappointed in the photogenic appeal of the area; but we were not there at the best time for photography, which might have been the primary reason for our disappointment.

We hiked the loop from the parking lot to the lake twice.  I used my 24-70mm lens during the first round, then switched to my 80-400mm with a 1.4 extension for the second round.  The photos included in my posts are a mix of images made with those two lenses.
