Mono Lake at sunset, from among the tufa on the south shore. Two towers hold the edges of the frame, and between them the lake opens out — mid-lake formations catching the last of the light, then the far shore, then the low hills of the Mono Basin beyond. A long exposure has smoothed what little movement there was into something closer to glass.
The tufa formed underwater. Freshwater springs rich in calcium rise through a lake loaded with carbonates, and where the two meet the reaction precipitates limestone — building slowly upward around each spring. What stands above the surface is only exposed because the lake dropped: Los Angeles began diverting Mono's tributary streams in 1941, and the level fell some 45 feet before the diversions were curtailed. These towers spent centuries submerged. They are, in a real sense, a record of water that is no longer there.
Fine Art Paper — Canson Platine Fibre Rag handles the graduated sky with lustre subtlety and holds the warm light on the tufa without flattening it. Canson Arches BFK Rives White gives a softer, more painterly reading; Moab Silver Metallic heightens contrast and lends the still water and lit sky a pearlescent shimmer. Prints are trimmed borderless at the stated size. 8x12 inches and smaller ship flat; larger sizes ship rolled, and are supplied unframed.
Every fine art paper print carries a 1-inch white border for handling and framing, added outside the image dimensions shown. The exception is the largest size in each aspect ratio, where the paper is already at its maximum width: those are printed borderless, edge to edge at the size shown.
