In my recent trip to Mono Lake, California, I visited the location for Clint Eastwood's movie "High Plains Drifter". I got the tip from all knowing Google :)  This blog told me where it is.

This is from my M240 from approximate location. I am also adding the next pic from movie screenshot for comparison (taken from the blog).

Screenshot from the movie. Compare the background mountains. The set has been removed (obviously).

Mono Lake is a miracle of conservation, saved by groups such as the Sierra Club in the late '60's and early '70's from becoming a toxic sump of hypersalinic goop and slime. 

 

Thanks for bringing this extraordinary place to the Forum's attention. I hope you had a chance to see and photograph the bizarre, other-worldly tufa towers while you were there, and the many bird species that thrive on the lake today.

Yes, thanks to caring folks, it’s fate is saved. Just look at the nearby dry Owens lake which is a dust bowl now. All the water diverted to thirsty Los Angeles.

 

I did photograph the tufas. They look awesome in morning and evening light. I posted on pic in the sunrise thread.
