Mono’s Morning Monoliths
South Tufa, Mono Lake
The South Tufas at Mono Lake take on an unearthly quality at sunrise, their limestone spires glowing in soft hues of peach and gold. As the first light spills across the still water, the formations cast perfect mirrored reflections. Photographing them at this hour allows for stillness—in both the air and lack of human presence. The low angle of light also helps to highlight texture that these monoliths are famous for. It’s these fleeting moments in time that remind me that it was worth getting out of bed early.
