Mono Lake

 

Mono Lake is a saline lake located east of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California.

Calcium carbonated the water, forming tufa towers from limestone.

The towers are exposed because Los Angeles diverted freshwater flowing into the lake, and was forced to stop after a legal battle.

Mono Lake is very salty because it has no outlet.

No fish live in the lake, but plenty of brine shrimp do.

Spooky clouds
