Spectacular shots taken of this strangly biazarre place, the rock formations are kinda eerie and serene at the same time. Love the perspectives captured and contrasts. Great job and many thanks for sharing, had a wonderful time viewing. Cheers and all the best, amy

This album is of special interest to me firstly because my university degree was in geology, and secondly because my ex-husband, an alpine nurseryman, loves tufa for its unique qualities, which allow plants to be grown on it as acts like a sponge, and absorbs water from below to supply the plants' needs. He has a tufa rockery and often plants up stone troughs with alpines set into small holes drilled into pieces of tufa. It isn't easy to come by, and he would never take it from its natural habitat, but it was very popular in Victorian times, so if he hears of an old Victorian garden being used to build new houses, or a quarry where a band of tufa has been encountered, he is always pleased to have the opportunity to obtain new supplies. He would be fascinated to see Mono Lake. I actually sent him a copy of a photo of it for his birthday this year, and he had a hard time believing it was really tufa. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful pictures of it. Also thank you for sharing the tigers, bighorn sheep, sunsets, butterflies, etc. and your pictures with Bible texts, in your other albums, and congratulations on having your tiger album featured today - they are beautiful photos. Best wishes from Sue in South Wales, UK.

What a wonderful album of Mono Lake! The tufas look interesting. Loved the light shining through the tufa (very creative!) as well as the reflected bird on the lake. Thanks for sharing!
