Another Day at Tufa Mono Lake Shores


We decided to come to the Mono Lake Tufa shores for the second time of our stay here. We wanted to be here for the sunset. This time we did not do a tour, we just walk freely on our own. If you want to know what Tufa is, I have already explain it on a previews blog. So go the my Mono Lake Tufa Tour entry an you will learn what Tufa is.

Beautiful Tufa formations
This Tufa formation to the left looks like a hand. See the five fingers.

Sunset at the lake. The sunset is high on the mountains. This area gets a twilight for an hour and them becomes dark. It started to get chilly so we decided to go.Twilight time
