Bombay Beach

There was a little bit of sunset color when I passed by Bombay Beach last week, but this time of year the sun is too far north, and way off to the right from this perspective.  The first 5 photos here (cover and first 4 more) are from the east side of the Salton Sea.

A documentary "Bombay Beach" was released in 2012 profiling some of the community's residents:

Here's some intriguing information about the film, and the filmmaker Alma Har'el:

“A beautiful, quirky, and ultimately very moving film about the American Dream as it teeters on the edge of a desert sea.”  – Terry Gilliam
