Greetings From The Salton Sea: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

DV Dude has ventured to southern California for his annual January Photography Trip, and his choice this year was the Salton Sea.

As you can see from the above sunrise photo, it can be quite beautiful. That's good. 

The Salton Sea has seen better days, as this nice beach tableau at the Salton Sea Beach demonstrates. This is bad.

 

And here's the ugly - dead fish. Lots of dead fish carcasses. This is a particularly bad section, and shouldn't be taken as what all the beaches are like. But there are fish carcasses everywhere. A tad gross, and ruins the nice mellow of the very peaceful, and quite beautiful, Salton Sea.
