Sunrise light on a grove of tufa towers emerging from the water of Mono Lake with soft green and dusty-red wild grasses in the foreground, Canada geese in the shallow water with reflections of the rocky towers, and desert hills in the distance.

Mono Lake sunrise

As the northern hemisphere tilts away from the sun, taking us into another winter, lengthening nights pinch the daytime shorter and shorter. With the sun disappearing behind the Sierra at around 4:00pm these days, sunrise each morning feels extra special. This short video on Dailymotion.com captures sunrise at South Tufa in a condensed, 14 seconds of time-lapse. Enjoy sunrise at Mono Lake!
