Mono Lake

"Pastel Sunrise, Mono Lake"

October 2010, Mono Lake, California

I shot this image 10 minutes before sunrise on an unseasonably warm October morning. Conditions were absolutely calm, without even the slightest breeze. The resulting glass-like surface of the lake added a wonderful mirror reflection of the tufa formations and even the clouds.
