From Lake Tahoe we took a slight detour to Tonopah, Nevada to stay in a favorite historic hotel, Mizpah.
Depending on the altitude, latitude, and moisture, there were still remnants of fall colors around. (I don't think landscape photography is my strong point, but I still try to capture them occasionally.)
We stopped at Mono Lake to look at the "tufas". These are "rock" formations formed by mineral deposits. For some reason they are a common subject for photographers, although usually at sunrise or sunset, not midday like when we were there.
I actually liked the countryside around the lake as much as the lake itself - typical sagebrush and rabbitbrush. The first few times I drove south into the US, I was looking for the classic sand and cactus "desert" and I was a bit disappointed with the sagebrush and juniper. But now I quite like it.
