Description
Old pier pilings and their reflections on/in Bombay Beach, CA, at the Salton Sea..........According to Wikipedia: Bombay Beach is a census-designated place (CDP) in Imperial County, California, United States. It is located on the Salton Sea 4 miles west-southwest of Frink[3] and is the lowest community in America, located 223 feet below sea level.[4] The population was 295 at the 2010 census, down from 366 in 2000. It is part of the El Centro, California Metropolitan Statistical Area...........Bommbay Beach is located at 33°21′03″N 115°43′47″W. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.9 square miles (2.3 km2), all land. Bombay Beach is located on the east shore of the Salton Sea and like many communities along its shores, has had to contend with fluctuating water levels. A berm now protects the west end of the town, but a portion of the town beyond the berm is either submerged or is half-buried in mud. The town of Bombay Beach is located in Southern California's Sonoran Desert. Bombay Beach marks the southern end of the San Andreas fault.

Laurie Search replied:
No, it's actually remnants from an old wooden pier! They're wood, but with lots and lots of salt built up on them! Thank you so much, Constance!!! :)))
