Description

Everyone shoots the Tufa (including moi) at Mono Lake. But the fields of wild sage that surround the lake are ever so beautiful (though they make you sneeze uncontrollably if you touch your nose to them)! Probably shot this during a sneezing fit with my little P&S! Tufas can be seen in the background.
September, 2006 near Lee Vining, Ca.
