This is a panoramic shot of Mono Lake from the south, with a good view of the tufa columns that dot the shore. They are basically limestone formations made possible by the high salinity of the lake.

I love the idea, but I feel like the execution fell slightly short of what you could have accomplished. If you'd lowered your point of view to inches above the water, you could have captured more of the stark color contrast of the shallow water to the deeper parts of the lake, against the backdrop of the blue sky and white lingering ice reflection in the water. Just make sure that you had a polarizing filter, of course, so that you would be able to see into the water in the shallow section.
What are you doing on that side of the mountain? Take Tioga pass into Yosemite if you want to take pictures.
