The Horror! Ghastly Visions from a Desert Sea

Perfect for Halloween, there are a few crazy pictures from the Salton Sea, our previous Saturday's destination. This is pretty much a preview of a few posts from that brackish lake, the stench still fresh on the brain.

The shore wasn't sandy; it was made of fishbones and those crunchy puka-looking shells. That, and lots of dead fish.

Lots.

The pictures don't do it justice. I'll revisit the fish in the later posts, but it was eerie. No flies. No bacteria to decompose the fish. The birds didn't even seem interested. Dead fish everywhere. Unsettling, for sure.
