Mono Lake Early and Late

Looking Southeast towards Death Valley (75+ miles) and the desert.




I had to tone the colors down on these. Incredible sunsets at 6300+ feet.























My first time in the high desert during the fall and I must say the colors are really spectacular. Locals told me that the Winter sky and horizons are even more dramatic.

Really nice photos of some amazing scenery, Dan.

My favorite composition of this group is blog-1-3. The elements (sky, horizon, water, and land formations) are well balanced, exposure perfect, and beautiful subtle color. Lovely.

But for just color, blog-1-5 takes the honors :).

Wowww these look so crazy! I love this as a set of shots. The cool blues VS the warm pinks.... Really nice!

Thanx Warren and Lea, I know you have been to the Lake Warren, but Lea if you are down in the area ever don't miss this place. Thankfully LA is not draining it dry as they did in the past.

I know I will have to go back, perhaps on a trip to Death Valley, which I am hoping to do soon.

Dan, we've been to a lot of places, but we seem to always miss visiting Mono Lake. So no, I've never been there, but it's definitely on the list of must-see places for us.

Dan,

I've been to Mono Lake as a teenager, but have never seen it like this. Very nice capture of the landscape and the colors. I like all of them, but the last one is for me is not as great as the others.
