Mono Lake is a unique mystical lake located on the East side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. With Yosemite to the West. Lake Tahoe to the north. And all that Mammoth Lakes has to offer to the South. It needs to be special for anyone to even notice. Some would even say it Mono Lake Rocks.
Mono Lake Rocks!
The Mono Lake Rocks website offers the latest Tweets and Instagram feeds. Pictures are worth more than we can offer in writing.
Hope you enjoy all the talented visitors post. Add a few yourself……

#monolake is one of the strangest landscapes I’ve seen… The rocks look like they belong on the bottom of the ocean! Actually, that’s where they grew, then the ocean shrank. #dogfriendly #california #rovertravels #getoutside #itsbetteroutside #notallwhowanderarelost
Try the Panum Crater hikes if you are ever around Mono Lake! @yelp https://www.yelp.com/biz/panum-crater-lee-vining?hrid=GScJ4cU9NOzTDTPGvTaxBg&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup

Are #seamonkeys real? If you’ve ever been to #MonoLake in the summer, you might think so. All those migrating birds have to eat something when they visit. Mono Lake is filled with TRILLIONS of #brineshrimp, that must taste quite delicious if you’re a 🐦. https://qoo.ly/3bxnkf

SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF A PROJECT FOR THE AGES!!! BOSS WITCH PRODUCTIONS bosswitchproductions
Boss Witch launches with three projects for the 2021-2022 season, all related to ritual, the natural world, and a subversion of social constructs.
/
Up first in Fall 2021 is Carmina Escobar’s Bajo la Sombra del Sol (Under the Sun’s Shadow), a hyper-textural scenic work filmed in Mono Lake, California. The work uses the creation of myth to reintegrate the notion of ecstasy in the social realm and find the sacredness in our relationship with nature. An immersive intermedia experience will be available in collaboration with calartsredcat 🌀
/
In the Winter of 2021 we will release a 3 LP series, Vox Clamantis by Carmina Escobar and Ron Athey. They sonically explore the relationship between the mystical body and landscape at a different California ecosystem in each piece.
/
In Spring 2022 we will present our fist commission – a new work by Ma’ayan Tsadka and Dani Williamson (singingslow ektachrome64t) Their work employs imagination, technology, acoustics, and science to explore the nature of sound and its environmental and social roles.

Mono Lake is located on the extreme western edge of the Great Basin, which stretches from Northeast California across Nevada to the Wasatch Range in Central Utah.
Streams and rivers flowing into this region never reach the ocean. Instead, they flow into desert valleys or into lakes such as this one, that have no outlet. Mono lake is one of the oldest lakes in North America. Streams carry small amounts of salts and minerals into the lake where they have built up over thousands of years, as a result, Mono lake is more than twice as salty as the ocean, and very alkaline.
The strangely beautiful tufa towers result from a calcium-rich spring water bubbling up from the bottom of the lake into the alkaline water. These tufas are constantly forming under the water. The ones that you can see now above water, formed when the lake's water level was higher.
The city of Los Angeles diverted water from the Owens River in 1913, and even more in 1941. So much water was diverted that evaporation soon exceeded the inflow and the surface level of Mono Lake fell rapidly. By 1990, the lake had dropped 45 vertical feet and had lost half of it's volume relative to the 1941 pre-diversion water level.
As a result, alkaline sands and formerly submerged tufas became exposed, the water salinity doubled, and the Negit Island became a peninsula, exposing the nests of California Gulls to predators, and forcing the gull colony to abandon this site.

This weekend I inadvertently gave myself the best Mother’s Day gift ever! I’d literally just been talking about how sick to my stomach I felt having lost all my old cell photos going back more than 5 years.
Can’t even tell you how many countless hours I’ve spent frantically rummaging through drawers and boxes of old knick knacks and junk in a whirlwind of frustration wondering where I could’ve misplaced those old SD cards.
Well no sooner had I said it, did I find a lone little thumb drive. I reached for my laptop trying to contain the excitement of thinking could this be it? I told myself to stop. I’d been down that road before. Hopes high only to be let down when it’s nothing more than work docs.
As I opened the file, I froze. The clouds above parted in the sky and a magnificent ray of sunshine shone down upon me. Awwww!
The Mother’s Day Gods were generous upon my mortal soul. For there they were. Hundreds of 2013-2014 photos of Death Valley, Big Sur, my precious granddaughter as a wee little one and of course, shots like this – the most beautiful sunset I ever saw at Mono Lake of its tufas! Just like Christmas morning.
Feature of the day lahorstman! Canon 5D Mark IV | EF16-35mm f/4 | f/10 | 15s | ISO 100
Cokin EVO Filter System | ND64 + SG #teamcokin #cokincreative

Today I turn 33 & I am so grateful I got to wake up in this beautiful place on my birthday 🥳 We jammed so much stuff into this trip and though we are both exhausted it was totally worth it 👌 Can’t wait to get back home and celebrate with my family ♥︎
