Mono Lake Shore

The Lake Mono tufa formations with storm clouds rolling on in made for an interesting scene.

 

From Wikipedia: “Tufa is the name for an unusual geological form of calcite rock. Tufa is a rough, thick, rock-like calcium carbonate deposit that forms by chemical precipitation from bodies of water with a high dissolved calcium content. Tufa is not to be confused with tuff, which is volcanic.”
