Mono Lake California

Mono Lake Dawn I shot this Mono Lake California 360 at dawn, before the heat of the day where the flies become bothersome and the smell starts to rise with the sun. At this early hour the lake is deserted and especially eerie. The water seems unnaturally calm. The light just tinges the limestone rock…
Humboldt Redwoods State Park 360
