Love your hoodoos Emile. My hoodoos at Mono Lake didn't turn out as well. They are usually called tufas there. My focus wasn't sharp, but I may post one anyway. Your photos are always sharp. I need to pay more attention to where I have it focused on. That is what I learn from you. #10367288

Took my magnifying glass to find him with these old eyes, but it sure does give a comparison as to size. They look like giant statues keep watch. Love the pov, gorgeous colors and scenery my friend. #10367768
