Mono Lake


A truly breathtaking view of the lake from the visitor center. You can see the volcanic origins of the lake, the tufa towers, the rock that looks like it is moving (because it is full of gulls jostling for space) and the clear blue alkaline waters.



The water that collects in the lake becomes more and more alkaline as it dries off.


That is the reason only the alkali flies, brine shrimp and california gull are the only things that survive in this environment.

I would love to continue uploading pictures, but blogger gives me an error.

Will try to post a flickr link...

Feeling better now after a days rest. Also saw that SS tagged me. Should probably take a month to work on that one!
