Description
Storm clouds form at dusk over the eastern shore of Mono Lake. The tufa in the foreground is formed by the interaction of underwater springs rich in calcium that mix with the carbonates in the lake and precipates calcium carbonate or the limestone towers. The towers were exposed as the lake level fell when the water was diverted to Los Angeles, California.
