    At the southernmost tip of the Salton Sea is an eerie, post-apocalyptic community called Bombay Beach, deserted after folks were tired of dealing with rising waters flooding the town. Read more

    Night shooting is the best here. I christened this place the "Voodoo House." It's best to visit during a full moon. Shutter speeds aren't as long and you can avoid getting cut (hopefully.)

    The biggest thing in Bombay Beach is the cell tower. Five bars on AT&T!

    A post-apocalyptic landscape in the desert that evokes memories of what was, a cautionary tail of what may be...

    Watch out for the black magic Pagan altars. Someone is sacrificing birds here :\

    If you're shooting here, say hello to all the friendly locals! They love it if you refer to them as "diva" especially if they are old, crippled and methy!

    If you have gone this far, I believe this is what a war zone or an apocolimpic area would look like, you have been warned!

    Most of the ruins have been picked through and demolished. Not much to see.
