clikrf8 > Mono Lake at South Tufa area in early morning light. This lake almost wasn't. Los Angeles bought up water rights to 5 creeks that feed the lake, lowering the water level and raising the salinity. A lawsuit in the 1980s challenged L.A. and won, thus decreeing that the lake levels shall be raised.

clikrf8 > The town of Bodie, California grew from a gold discovery in the early 1860s. Once populated by 10,000 hardy souls (winters are harsh at 9,000 feet), Bodie is now the best preserved ghost town in California. Now part of the California State Parks system, it is preserved in a state of "arrested decay".

Lutheran Church built of Jeffrey pine mellowed to a golden brown over years exposed to the wind, snow and sun of Bodie.
