I always love going to Mono Lake, but I'll admit I like it best at dawn and sundown, and even in the middle of the night. I like it least in the middle of a hot and cloudless day. Mid-day is a good time to go have a picnic and siesta where shade can be found up at the County Park.
Photographers spread out along the shore in October 2008.
One of my favorite shots on that trip was taken far from the shore with a long lens.
