      I'm thinking people there would be pretty friendly . I been seeing how slab city people are and they seem pretty mellow and helpful. These people want be in a different society that promotes humanity wellbeing. No rent to be paid and you don't have to a slave away at a hated job for The Man. Art and creativity is heavy influence and promoted. Our schools are taking away the arts and sciences for lack of funding but it is so sad that society shoves off so fast . I love photography but it's so expensive to buy all the equipment that I need to have. How do professional photographers make money. Who wants to pay for a picture?

      @@pheonixcornell544 Photographers USE to make good money. You must be pretty young. The reason most people don't want to pay for pictures anymore is because everyone has a smartphone these days. Present day smartphones take insanely good pictures. People always tell me I take really good photos. I tell them I've always taken good photos. I just never bought a high end camera back in the day. If you want to become a photographer nowadays and make a living your best bet is to do exclusively weddings or something along those lines.

Smart phones did replace the professional but every teacher said smart phones can't get nearly as good as a Nikon or Cannon. My phone can't focus as good or white balance. Had I known that the profession is all self made business, I haven't done anything with diploma. I wish there was someone to learn from already having a business. At least I made a pretty good souvenir photographer, shooting at Wrigley Field. Bonus was working during World Series..

    I was doing a little research on the Salton sea, what I could gather is it was created in 1905 by accident because of engineers trying to increase waterflow to the farmland. The Colorado river overflowed and for 2 years flowed into here before finally being blocked off.
    Because the river replenishing the Saltonsea is connected to the real sea, salt flows in aswell. The saltonsea is actually evaporating away and is only replenished every 400-500 years bringing in more salt water, the water evaporates away again leaving salt. The sea gets saltier and saltier. The mayor is actually trying to save the sea, because they fear that if it completely evaporates away, the smell of rotten fish, salt and pollutants will be so strong, it could reach the coastal cities.
    Whilst some fish still live in the sea, they will soon die out.

      There is one thing they can do, but its highly expensive and rather stupid.
      Move everyone out of the area and re-open the flow to the Colorado river. Let the area flood, it will be about 20x bigger and the surrounding areas will be completely flooded, but then theres no pesticides to worry about

    The Salton Sea is a hugggee environmental problem. This is not just for the people there but also for the people down more south like LA and stuff. Not that Josh will read this comment, but if you (as in other viewers etc) want more history on the Salton Sea watch Viceland's "Abandoned" episode on it. As an Enviro major I can say they did a pretty good job explaining the history and current problem without getting overly complicated.

    Bombay Beach is a census-designated place in Imperial County, California, United States. It is located on the Salton Sea 4 miles west-southwest of Frink and is the lowest community in America, located 223 feet below sea level.
    The entire area of Salton Sea is very interesting and offers wonderful locations for photography. Also, the west shore of Salton Sea.
    Nice video 'Josh'.

    • @pameladiamond8505
      @pameladiamond8505 6 лет назад +7

      Thank you for just showing actual footage of the Bombay beach.So many people insert other places on the Sea to hype(not really sure why) the down fall of the surrounding communities of the sea. I grew up going to the North Shore campground in the 1960's. We would spend the winter ,spring and fall there on weekends.It was one day water skiing and one fishing,at that time it was so crowded we had local friends go down Friday afternoon to reserve our camp site.In 1990 our family began to buy homes in Bombay beach(still have three places there). This place had a beach side food place ,until the flood of 1969 when the restaurant and trailer park was flooded and became 6 feet under water for a couple of days. The first 3 streets near the berm were also flooded.This change the whole community in many ways.Bombay realized it had to have a sewer system instead of septic tanks and the berm was extended and made a lot higher. emergency plan was put into place and water pumps bought to keep that part of the neighborhood dry.
      to comment on the smell next would be come June of every year since 1992 the smell of the sea is like the red sea or other inlets to the oceans that has a red tide. The Sea becomes more concentrated the tilapia die because of to little oxygen and the smell of that red tide becomes very strong.The winds are more often from the south and not as strong as when from the North,thus not blowing the smell away from the area.The pictures of the water were great,they did not show that we as a town on the shore have one of the few sand beaches.
      yes we all feel the abandoned buildings are a problem.Some are owned by the state and are just left when the older generation had medical to assist with their medical insurance.The buildings are not worth anything and often when the state leaves the situation alone. The properties then go to the county which doesn't tear them down either.our local people who have decided to use what walls are left for canvas for their art ,are usually kind in their choices of subjects. Any gang affiliation is usually painted over by the community.The houses were often started as vacation trailers with structures added over time, to expand the living areas.So this was not thought as decreasing the values of more proper residents.The ones that were explored are ,people homes who legally taken over or bought by IID ,Calif.State or the county and were never cleaned out by families of those once d love their home(many families live out of state).
      to those who watch this ,I ask come and look for your self,find the beauty of the Sea at Bombay beach.We have many kinds of residents there from first home buyer to extended families to snow birds,to people like my family and me,that enjoy the feel of a small community . There is quiet,the close feeling of knowing who lives next door and down the street.There is all of us who love the Sea,we now have events which include a music and arts festival in April. We like the Palm Springs area was ,are more of a ghost town in the summer,yet that leaves us with 8 months of living at the shore of a National Graphic wonder.There are rarely any boats on the water this is true,yet if you go to our beach and see someone out kayaking alone. It will most likely be me:Pamela , because here on the water it's me and the birds and fish,no drunk boaters to run me over or capsize me. Just me and mother nature.

We spent two days there, and my Dad said, this place isn't worth the dirt it's built on and is going to be a rotten stink hole in twenty years. Well, I guess he was wrong about how soon it would happen, it took a bit longer than that, but, he was right about the cesspool it's turned into. I always wondered if that Real Estate Agent lost his shirt over that place?

    Josh, you should make a trip to Bayou Corne in Louisiana. Friends of ours had a camp there. We would go there each summer and take boats out on the bayou. It was a great place. In 2012 a sinkhole appeared in the bayou, due to the actions of a petroleum company that operated there. The sinkhole kept getting wider and wider. Methane gas became a danger, because it would get trapped under houses. The company bought the whole area out, and now the homes and camps sit abandoned. My mother and I rode out there last year to look. It looks like time stopped for one of the most beloved places from my childhood. We even saw our friends’ abandoned camp. It’s something to see.

    The population of the city that my grandparents live in is under 80 people and because they are all old every year more and more die. Younger people sometimes come only the weekends but when the elders die they stop coming too. So it sucks for me to watch it turn into a “ghost town” because every summer for 8 years I spend my whole summer break there which is 3 months and the last few years I barely see people. When I ride my bike around it feels like I am alone. Also the school which I “explored”was abandoned 30-40 years ago and there are no kids which is sad. I’m 16 now and have a shorter vacation but I like going there and spending time with my grandparents and helping them with whatever I can. ❤️

      it just needs more water pumped into it.. its drying up and the salt concentrations get too high. Its not the fish that cause it to stink, its algae and bacteria bc of the fucked up mineral content of the water. Google "Salton Sea" it will tell the whole story. That Sea is artificial, its actually not supposed to be there, it happened accidentally when they redirected the Colorado river a 100 years ago. The fresh water ended up on a salt flat and it became a inland salt sea... then seagulls brought fish eggs from the ocean and ocean fish took root in there.. its a weird story, the Salton Sea.. its like something out of the apocalypse. Watch some shows about it here on youtube.
