These formations you are seeing are salt and mineral deposits that formed over thousands of years. Mother Nature has fooled me a few times! Okay, I won’t lie more than a few times! This morning however, had great potential, and fortunately, The Belt of Venus showed up and lent the morning a beautiful pink hue. We went left away from the horde of other photographers I found a place I thought made a good composition, but I sank ankle deep in the muck to get there.Įxperienced Photographers have a good feel for the outcome of the sunrise or sunset, but I’ve never bet on it.
There was a faint light in the East signaling the Sun was in a hurry to greet the Northern Hemisphere so, we gathered our gear, and walked-ran to find our spots as quickly as we could.

We drove to Mono Lake ( Moe-Noh) and found the parking lot was already full of cars! Fall in the Eastern Sierras is getting more and more crowded. That meant a 4:40AM wake up call for me! I had a quick shower, and we managed to get out the door at 5:20am and arrived at the meeting spot 5 minutes early. We had a 30 minute drive from our Motel to the meeting spot. We were meeting the rest of our group at 6AM. After checking in we both unpacked the bare necessities then fell into our beds knowing the alarm would be ringing in just 4 hours! We arrived at our Motel just about Midnight. Finally the road opened up and we were off and onto the Eastern Sierras. I picked her up, and we got back on the freeway where we crawled at about 30 mph for 2 hours. Unfortunately, even in mid-October that’s true! It took me over an hour to travel 11 miles to meet her! Cindy parked on a residential street hoping her car would be fine for the week-end b/c my house was out of the way, and me going to meet her would have beem backtracking and mean we’d lose 1-2 hours in traffic. It’s congested with get-away travelers and commuters. Anyone living in Silicon Valley knows leaving after 3PM is a nightmare! Traffic is awful. I left my home in Silicon Valley at 4PM on Friday to meet a new friend/member in the Photography Group I was going with. I spent the week-end in the Eastern Sierras photographing Sunrises, Sunset, and Fall Color.
