Open House | California Photo Spot

In recent years, artists have taken over many of the abandoned structures of Bombay Beach, transforming them into makeshift gathering places, lecture halls, performance spaces, gallery rooms and canvases for graffiti art. Open House is one of the many unique art installations that can be found in the sands of Bombay Beach. Bombay Beach was once a popular getaway for beach goers until the 1980s, when the draining and increasing salinity of the Salton Sea destroyed the lake’s ecosystem and drove businesses and private landowners out of the area, rendering Bombay Beach pretty much a ghost town. Now the town has an eerie feel as the shoreline constantly changes to reflect the rising/falling water levels. (Bombay Beach, California, USA)
