a nice day for a jaunt from Palm Desert to the western shore of the Salton Sea. \u00a0Most of the little settlements along the shore of the Salton Sea are in decline. \u00a0As the Salton Sea slowly evaporates, the shore recedes, the water becomes saltier, the fish die-offs become larger, and the quality of life for both man and most wildlife decreases. \u00a0I was looking to photograph abandoned motels or other old buildings, but I didn&#8217;t have much luck with these. \u00a0I poked around Desert Shores and Salton City, and found a few interesting &#8220;scenes&#8221; near the shore.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stormbruiser.com\/chase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/150412_5337_Indio.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone
