Figurines called Sand Tufa's (pronounced toofah), gradually jettison up from salty floors as freshwater springs percolate through briny lake-bottom sand. Intricate sand tubes and columns become exposed as winds strip away their sandy coverings, and cast reflections off the shoreline of Mono Lake, CA. According to research data, this shallow lake basin is probably 1-3 million years old; making it among the most ancient lakes in North America. Embracing roughly 400 recorded vertebrate species within its watershed, Mono Lake and its surrounding areas encompass one of California￢ﾀﾙs richest natural resources. Coupled with the Milky Way￢ﾀﾙs expanse; it gives the viewer a sense of an ecosystem struggling for survival.
