The Salton Sea is one of those decaying places photographers love to visit. Nature is reclaiming neighborhoods that have long been abandoned, though some holdouts continue to call the Salton Sea home. The Salton Sea stinks like sulfur and rotting flesh. The barnacle shoreline is covered in petrified fish that died gasping for breath. Streets that appear on the map suddenly end in dirt and sand. Neighborhoods are ghost towns, full of gutted homes with graffitied walls and decomposing furniture.
