Mono Lake

It was exciting to return to Mono Lake this year and see that the water level has actually risen. It’s been down for about five years because of drought conditions in the Sierra Nevada. Now it’s up 6″ and expected to rise another foot during the summer. I’m going to have to get back up here to see that. I’m very excited.

After a windy day the lake calms down and waits for gentle night.

Most of the time you don’t get the big explosive sunsets at Mono Lake. And that’s OK. I’m perfectly happy with quite, introspective sunsets like this one.
