“Bombay Beach”. This was an unusual evening at Bombay Beach. As I stood there awaiting the sunset, a blanket of mist suddenly rolled in. It created a surreal sense of serenity and color that seemed almost to clash with Bombay Beach's usual, apocalyptic decor. Location: Bombay Beach (at the Salton Sea in California).
