This is another image taken at Mono Lake during our stay in Bishop last year. As the sun set the clouds lit up as if on fire and the tufas were aglow as well with the red color reflected from the lake. A totally amazing moment in time I will cherish for a long time.
This image was captured towards the last day of our stay at Bishop. The skies had been mostly sunny but then the Weather Gods decided to smile as a weather system made it our way. Upon arrival, amazingly there were almost no cars in the parking lot and I had the place pretty much to myself. As the sun set this beautiful streak of clouds showed up from the west and turned an amazing pink.
Our stay at Bishop was coming to a close and I had been patiently waiting for the weather to change so that there was more cloud action in the sky for a sunset shoot. Finally, a day before our departure the cloud patterns started looking promising so it was a mad dash to Mono Lake. It had been a couple of years since my last visit and the tufas can be over whelming from a composition standpoint. The sun was close to setting over the hills as I frantically searched for a composition I liked. This ended up pretty decent but dealing with sun flare was a significant challenge.
