There have been great clouds in the Mono Basin over the past couple of days. Now that the lake is warming, there’s also a lot of algae growing, but the brine shrimp and alkali fly larvae aren’t present in large enough numbers to keep up with it, so the water is a very interesting emerald color.
Later in the morning I met landscape photographer Bill Wight to share a few of my “secret spots” in the Eastern Sierra with him, and to try to scout out a few new ones for the landscape photography workshop we’ll be leading here June 3-6. Many sagebrush stripes and undercarriage drags later (my minivan doesn’t have the clearance of his pickup truck, but that rarely stops me from trying), we had made our way up to Mono Lake and explored several of the less visited and lesser known sites.
