Had to dig through the archives for this one; closest I could come to a letter other than an "o" which would have been too easy.

Mono lake back in the 90's when the lake level was still low. Nikon F4, 20mm, Velvia.

Just for fun... thanks,
Lon

I like how the "Y" branch deaws my gaze into the scene. Pretty colors and textures.

Not a bad 90's Mono Lake shot. Seems perhaps a tad light bit that's what it looked like...

Wonderful Lon! Expertly exposed and the single leading line bifurcating to indicate the two BG formations is perfect.

Lovely pastel blue hues. Good comp with the clouds above the tufas and the foreground 'Y' branch.

Fantastic, Lon! Perhaps the prettiest 'Y' I've seen. :smile: Congrats on the EP, too.
