    Wow, you have a lot of comments already :) This is such a stunning image, the smooth flow of the water against the ragged rocks, and even the clouds came to play with the way they’re streaking through the sky…. bliss captured, well done :D

  • MtnMan

    MtnMan in reply to Khaoli’s comment, 2 months ago

    The lens is a super wide angle. It does exagerate effects in the clouds, but is no trick. The clouds just happened in this case to converge like a vanishing point. : ) Thanks

  • MtnMan

    MtnMan in reply to FuriousEnnui’s comment, about 1 month ago

    Yes I am a fan. But just a casual photographer with a nice camera and a penchant for framing my shots. I almost fell in the water here as I lost my precarious footing for a split second…

    Great place did you go into the ghost town? also if you hike up from mono to black point inside the volcano you will find great blocks of obsidian created there and shards scattered around the mono pathways.
