Mono Lake Sunset...

After spending the afternoon at Bodie, I wandered over Conway Summit and into the Mono Lake basin hoping to capture an interesting sunset with all the thunderstorm activity.

On the way out to the South Tufa viewing area, I spotted some Mammatus clouds as the thunderstorms started to wane over the Sierra...



A bit later, the cloud deck started to lift from the mountains and the brilliant colors of the High Sierra sunset started to peek through.



Unfortunately, the water level was quite high so beach access was difficult and the water was quite rough with numerous whitcaps. So much for reflection opportunities.

Oh well...it simply gives me an excuse to go back again another time.

Take it in the good light,

Bill
