Mono Lake by Stephen Leonardi (California photo spot)

Mono Lake is a unique and almost otherworldly feeling shooting location – ghostlike tufa towers trim the edges of a million year old lake, that is the salty remnant of an ancient inland sea. With a salinity level over three times that of the ocean, this is one unique, inhospitable, albeit beautiful environment that also supports a diverse collection of wildlife.
