Mono Lake, South Beach

Backlighted storm clouds move across Mono Lake creating a staged effect which mimics Wagnerian opera. Shadows of idolic tufa formations reflected in pools of water intensify one's feeling that here is Valhalla and that a supernatural spectacle is unfolding. If I were to say what makes Mono Lake so magnetically appealing for photographers is that it offers a multitude of changing moods. Photo © copyright by Frank LeBlanc.
