Tufa towers rise in this incredible beautiful scenic place called Mono Lake. This desert lake in Northern California occupies part of the Mono Basin, that has no outlet to the ocean.

The reason visitors see so much tufa around Mono Lake today is because the lake level fell dramatically after excessive water diversions by the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power began in 1941. Once above the water line, tufa can no longer grow and are susceptible to erosion.

Late morning on Mono Lake during cloudy weather

At Mono Lake Tufa State National Preserve on the eastern side of the towering Sierra, ghostlike tufa towers trim the edges of a one-million-year-old lake, the salty remnant of an ancient inland sea.

The amazing colour on the rocks, the reflections in the water, mixed with the quietness, makes this an amazing place to be in the morning sunlight.
