Imagination Quote #253

Mono Lake, Eastern Sierra Nevada

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.”

Visiting California I stopped at Mono Lake in Eastern Sierra. The unique tufa towers are made of calcium-carbonate and are formed by interaction of freshwater springs and alkaline lake water. Mono lake is an ancient lake over 1 million years old. These fantastic spires make the place so otherworldly.
