Salton Sea

Salton Sea is a wierd and wonderful adventure. We set out not sure what we were going to find, and having returned, we are still a bit unsure. In the desert of Southern California is a body of water so filled with salt that it can barely sustain life. Once a huge resort, it is now a depressed and mostly deserted area filled with decrepit structures, odd people and surreal landscapes. Here are a few of our photos:

We stumbled across an abandoned house and spent some time getting creative in the rubble.

In the hills not far from Salton Sea is an area known as Salvation Mountain. It is one man's devotion brought to life in vibrant color. No matter your beliefs, it is worth the trip to admire the work and dedication. And this much color in an otherwise bland desert is a sight you wont soon forget!
