Using a long 374mm telephoto focal length, I layer this image as a series of horizontal planes. All three planes are backlighted, creating a glowing field of golden sage backed by a parade of silhouetted ancient limestone outcroppings call tufa. The mountains along the lakeshore in the distant haze provide a background layer. To someone who has been to Mono Lake, this will be a familiar image. But those who have never seen this salty, spring fed lake may well be taken by surprise to see these old rocks on parade.
