Specialist note

'Mono lake, tragic and enchanted, with clouds rising over its black volcanic islands and white willow skeletons, bleached by its alkali waters, along its shore. Ansel photographed the strange, meditative reflection of the lake' (Nancy Newhall, The Eloquent Light, Sierra Club, San Francisco, 1963).
