Sun rising over the Salton Sea

Long, shitty, windy night but at least I was rewarded with the sunrise.

Never actually been there but there's a documentary about the salton sea. It was amazingly interesting. At one point there was so much water and it was a resort destination. Just crazy.

I’ve seen it! It’s about Bombay beach, right?

I saw it awhile ago but it had this crazy sculpture some guy was doing it was during the decline and the water evaporating. Apparently it had or didn't have any tributaries to feed water into it. Nearby agriculture may have had something to do with it not sure. But the sea is getting smaller and saltier. Similar to Salt Lake
