Leaning Tufa Monochrome
Mono Lake tufa texture, California.
The Mono Lake tufas form because of an underwater chemical reaction of calcium rich fresh water springs bubbling up in the carbonate loaded lake leaving a calcium carbonate salt deposit called tufa. In time these springs form the vertical towers we see today.
