shansteraThe Salton Sea, a shallow, toxic, landlocked, highly saline body of water southeast of Palm Springs, is beautiful in a sort of environmental disaster, midcentury ghost town, artsy squatters village sort of way. In the 1950s and 1960s, its shores hosted resort destinations, communities, hotels, and vacation homes. In the 1980s, farm runoff contaminated the sea spreading disease and killing off birds, fish, and other wildlife. Today, clouds of toxic dust and sometimes foul odors plague nearby communities and reach as far as Los Angeles. #SaltonSea#PalmSprings#California#Toxic#EnvironmentalDisaster#Vacation#Midcentury#MidcenturyModern#Signs#SignGeek#SignJunkie#Abandoned#Decay
