  7. Leslie Parsley Says:

    Mono Lake is in CA – a very interesting spot according to some info on Google. I love the photo and hope you will keep on working with your obvious talent. Would have liked a little more info about you, Charlene.

    Mono Lake is one of my favorite places! Just last fall I finally trashed my ‘Save Mono Lake’ t-shirt–25+ years old. This unique salt-water lake/eco-system was saved with massive support by numerous eco groups. Los Angeles takes water from the watershed, so the lake was slowly drying up and dying–dust from the lake-shore blew so high and thick that it often made jet pilots think one of the dead volcanoes had sprung back to life. I love Bodie too, but I’m so glad you followed your instincts and stayed by the lake to get such a marvelous shot. Thank you for taking me ‘home’!

    Wonderful use of existing light and masterful processing.

  15. Anurag Anurag Says:

    Extremely well executed shot. I really like the sidelight on the rock formations and the fact that they are not obscured in the shadows.

    Nice shot

  17. Pauline Jones Pauline Jones Says:

    I’m glad this place was saved, we don’t have to exploit the whole planet do we? Thanks for this lovely shot.

  18. Charlene Burge Says:

    Wow–thanks for all the kind comments! It’s been a long time since I posted a photo to earthshots, and it’s wonderful to get a POTD. ;-) Shot with an Olympus E-520, 11-22mm lens, two shots stitched together to get foreground and sky–but not HDR.

  19. Renee Renee Says:

    One word nice! :D

  20. Helen Says:

    Lovely colours and those rocks are really quite scary – like they could come alive any moment!
