Meanwhile, some 350 miles east, the great Stone Mother sits on the shores of Pyramid Lake, Nevada, on the Paiute Reservation. After man took her children, she sat and cried for so long that her tears became the lake, and she turned to stone.

Thanks for sharing this!

This part of the Lake, including the Pyramid itself, used to be open to the public. But after multiple incidents of vandalism and litter, the Tribe understandably closed the area. I was lucky to have visited before the closure.

This is just an incredible exposure! That sense of light, the atmosphere, the drama, man this is top notch stuff 👍

I feel like most beach scenes don’t benefit from long exposures that blur out the waves.

This is absolutely an exception. Such a beautiful composition. Excellent shot.

Yes, long exposures are a parlor trick, but I have played with them for years because I like the tonal ranges one often discovers. I can’t quite put it in words, but there is sometimes something alchemy-like about the process. But, yes, one does sacrifice the waves to get there. Thank you.
