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.
Gallery Metal — The next generation of the metal print: printed with Canon LUCIA PRO pigment inks and bonded to a rigid aluminium panel beneath a protective laminate, resolving finer detail and holding colour longer than dye-sublimation can. The modern process for images that reward close viewing. Here that keeps the crusted, porous texture of the tufa legible at size, against a sky that stays smooth. Glossy adds a hard coat for scratch resistance along with the fuller colour and depth; matte is anti-glare and holds sharp detail without softening it. Both are UV-protected for long-term display.
