Another Mono Lake view, this time looking toward Mt. Whitney in CA. I love the contrast between the dark, cold mountain and the hot, white salt pillars. The transition between the two, from foreground warmth to distant cold adds depth to the scene.

Another winner! “Self-Relection” brought in a 2nd Place at the 13th Annual KVCC (Kalamazoo Valley Community College) Alumni Art Show in the Center for New Media Gallery in downtown Kalamazoo. The show is on during the June Art Hop. I’m celebrating the recognition.

Mono Lake

From a photo I took long, long ago of Mono Lake near Bishop, CA. There are salt pillars sticking out of the shallow, salty water. I think the colors were amazing on that day. The deep blue sky, the purplish-reddish waters and the brick red of the pillars.
