Some of our favorite spots to photograph in all of California are connected by this wonderfully scenic drive called Rt 395. We have done so many trips up this highway and lived on pretty much every small town that dot the highway. This shot was taken at the south tufa beach of Mono Lake near Lee Vining, CA.

The pirate ship, which is the small island of tufa formations that you see in the middle is actually quite far from the shore and would appear quite small in wide-angle photographs. I wanted to convey a sense of size of the tufas on the shore compared to the pirate ship tufa.
