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.
TruLife Acrylic — The premium option, and the fullest version of this image: full glossy-acrylic depth with a museum-grade anti-reflective surface. The still water holds its calm and the sky its gradient, in any light. Beyond the anti-reflective surface it carries superior UV protection and scratch resistance, the most durable of the acrylic options as well as the fullest.
