The tufa formation known as Shipwreck seemingly floats along the moonlit surface of Mono Lake. Other towering tufa rock formations stand guard along the shore. Shrubs grow in the salty soil and add some additional color. The stars twinkle and shine as the high clouds blow over. Though partially covered by clouds, the Big Dipper constellation can clearly be seen. Long exposures at night can create some wonderful deep colors not seen during the day. The calmness of the lake on this night proved to be the biggest asset as the reflections were perfect.
