December 2010 -- My Mono Lake Rainbow image was chosen as a finalist in Outdoor Photographer's 3rd Annual Nature's Colors Photo Contest. Mono Lake is a saltwater lake in Mono County, California in the lower elevations of the Eastern Sierra-Nevada Mountain Range. Known for its tufa formations which formed from fresh ground water seeps and have since been exposed as lake levels dropped. See this and other Eastern Sierra fine art images in my Eastern Sierra Gallery.
