Mono Lake

Mono lake’s south tufa beach is one of my favorite locations to photograph. Due to its proximity to the Tioga pass, there is never a shortage of interesting cloud formations, and usually, the golden hour light is spectacular. Unfortunately, May and June in coastal and southern California are not the best months to photograph. May grey and June gloom are the local terms to describe the conditions.

Eastern California was my secret escape during these months, and Mono Lake was a must-visit location every time we went up Route 395. On this day, there was what looked like a lenticular cloud forming above one of the prominent peaks surrounding the lake. I hoped the wind would whip it up quickly, but unfortunately, that didn’t happen until the light was completely gone. So while I wanted to stay put, my wife thought it would be nice to eat before the few diners around us closed for the day.
