Mono Lake

slgwv has posted:

Mono County, California. A saline, landlocked lake fed by streams flowing eastward off the Sierra Nevada. The curious pinnacles and ragged outcrops are tufa, a freshwater limestone typically deposited by springs, altho it can also result from algal growth in agitated water. Looking east. Mono Lake had dropped dozens of feet by the latter 20th century due to diversions by the Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power. Its level has recovered significantly as diversions have been restrained by court order. The inset shows the boardwalk(!) out to this point, over marshy and tufa-filled ground.

Dredgelands, Dog Town, California

slgwv has posted:

Site of a placer operation in Mono County, beginning in the 1850s. The sediments along the drainage (Virginia Creek) were later worked by dredging in the latter 19th century or so. The big piles of cobble-sized gravel are the spoil heaps ejected behind the dredge.

Still barren after all these years. A mining technique that yields more collateral damage than most...
