The story behind the image
We strongly recommend to visit the village of Mammoth Lakes. It is beautiful, and the surrounding nature is simply breathtaking! If you drive up Lake Mary Road to the very end, you will reach yet another lake – Horseshoe Lake. Nice. But whazzat? The trees are all dead around the lake, about 120 acres! This is caused by a high concentration of CO2 in the soil. Therefore, do not dig in the soil, and don’t take a sunbath. Here’s more information.
This huge dead tree rested next to the lake, apparently peeled off by the weather. Horseshoe Lake is a place of weird beauty and well worth the drive.
