Mono lake, located on the east side of the Sierra Nevada mountains, is one of the saltiest lakes and a unique enviornmental area. It is home to brine shrimp, alkali flies and alge and has lost half it's volume in the last 40 years. |

This unique ecosystem has been losing water due to the city of Los Angeles use of water. For the last 20 years,enviormental groups have gotten various laws passed to protect this endangered resource. |

This was a rare summer storm coming over the deserts of Nevada and California. A short distance from Mono Lake is the Ghost town of Bodie, Nevada. I got caught in a snowstorm there in the middle of July that came from these clouds. |
