A collection of vertical rebar columns with some horizontal and curved rebar chutes across some of them. A sliver of a vast lake is visible over the sandy crest the sculpture stands on. The sun shines in a clear sky, shimmering on the water and casting shadows from the sculpture into the foreground.

Another #art.

Two red triangular forms rise out of the sand, seemingly a giant mouth coming up to bite the sun, which shines in the clear blue sky and cast a long shadow into the foreground.

The jungle gym looking pyramid on the edge of the water in its puddle. A pair of tire tracks in the mud extend toward it from the foreground.

A wooden arrow on the sand points to a line of small platforms of varying highs. At one point the platforms were in the water, but now the farthest one is well away from the skeleton shoreline.

A phone booth (kids: think freestanding glass shower stall with a coin-operated landline telephone inside), now with a locked cage enclosing it, standing on the beach. A small tower next to it with a heart-shaped satellite dish. The sun is casting long shadows in the foreground. Muddy tire tracks pass behind it, the water back in the distance.

As my #photography seems to be 10-15X more popular than my word posts, here's more #art from #BombayBeach.

A jungle gym looking pyramid stands a few meters in the water of a vast lake. The sun shines above in a clear blue sky, reflecting on the water through the pyramid. 📷 Nikon D3300

A closer shot of the pyramid rising from the water as the sun sets over the mountains in the distance. 📷 Pentax K1000 🎞 Ilford HP5 400

The pyramid sits in a puddle right at the edge of the water. The sun is sinking behind it, reflecting on the water and through the pyramid. 📷 Pentax K1000 🎞 Ilford FP4+ 125

Another shot of the pyramid in its puddle, the lake stretching behind it and tire tracks on the beach in the foreground. 📷 Pentax K1000 🎞 Ilford FP4+ 125

I'm guessing this is well out of the water by this point, too.

Color and the first B&W are from 2023, the last two are 2024.

A large metal sign near the water on a deserted beach. A vast lake stretches in the background. The sun is setting over the mountains in the distance, behind the sign, which reads: "the only other thing is nothing." The "nothing" is cut out while the rest of the letters sit on top. Long shadows are cast through the "nothing" onto the sand in the foreground.

More #art on the beach from a couple years ago.

A swingset in the water near the beach. The sun is going in down in a clear sky over the mountains behind it, reflecting through the swingset onto small ripples. 📷 vintage Pentax K1000 🎞 Ilford HP5 400

Basically the same shot, only the swingset is barely touching the water and the sunlight is reflecting off what is now essentially a puddle. 📷 Pentax K1000 🎞 Ilford FP4+ 125

Two more shots, one year apart.

A sign that looks to be from the 1970s or 80s for Salton Sea State Recreation Area - Mecca Beach sits in the desert by the entrance. An electrical pole sits behind it with the lake and mountains in the distance.

A veiw looking down the beach covered in scrub adjacent to the parking lot, separated by a line of large rocks. A bathroom building sits in the distance with a couple picnic tables a little closer.

A beach that was once completely underwater but is now full of scattered bushes. The lake stretches off into the background with mountains rising up.

A similar view as the previous beach shot, looking in the other direction.

Once upon a time, back in the 20th century, the #SaltonSea was a more popular tourist destination than Yosemite. People flocked to its beaches to swim, boat, and fish.

Now it sits deserted and all but forgotten.

*S.0.S. sign sits in the water a few meters from the beach of a vast lake* The Broken Sea California's largest lake, the Salton Sea, has a deeply troubled and enigmatic historv. Located in the arid Imperial Valley, the aptly named and highly saline body of water is shrinking and becoming more and more toxic, leading to disuse, abandonment and environmental damage to wildlife and air quality. To save the future of these troubled waters has become uncertain is an understatement.

I'm not sure if this photo is from 2021, but as you can see, that SOS sign was completely in the water when it was installed.

This article is a nice little history of the lake, which is a great microcosm of American capitalism.

A large metal sign with a stenciled "S.O.S." cut into it stands on a beach near the water behind it. The sun is overhead, making the shallow water sparkle and casting a shadow of the sign onto the sand in front. Shot with a vintage Pentax K1000 on Ilford Pan F 50.

A large metal sign with a stenciled "S.O.S." cut into it stands on a beach near the water behind it—which is noticeably farther away. The sun is behind, creating lens flare and casting a shadow of the sign onto the sand in front. Shot with a vintage Pentax K1000 on Ilford FP4+ 125.

Figured I'd try a little experiment and post some of my #blackandwhite #photography.

A couple #35mm shots from beautiful Bombay Beach on "California's Riveria," the Salton Sea. The left is from 2023, the right 2024. Note how much farther back the water is.

Trawling restrictions are reviving marine life in the Koster Sea, Sweden.

Study shows many species thriving again (though heat-sensitive species struggle due to #climatechange).

The Black Sea disaster is another chapter in a long history of oil spills wreaking ecological chaos. The Caspian went through this 40 years ago with the Tengiz spill. How many more until we hold corporations & polluters accountable?
