Circling the Sierra Nevada: Mono Lake

After a too-late start from the Sacramento area Mono Lake was a convenient place to camp that would place us very well for sunrise shots. I decided to revisit a grove of limestone tufa formations that gets very few visitors. It’s such a pain to access that it’s not even marked on most maps!

After the sunrise shots we explored some abandoned buildings, including one that has rolled down a hill and lost its roof, providing some interesting through-the-rafters shots.
