A lot of dead fish. Really, a lot.

Jeebus!
Sucks to be a fish in the Salton Sea.
Sucks even more if you're a resident of Salton apparently.

This is not a smell I remember from my childhood.

This IS a smell I remember. . whenever we had a red tide, we could, one, smell the dead fish for weeks at a time, and two, go in the ocean at night and whenever the water was agitated, say, by breaking waves or even by a hand moving though it, there would be this other-worldly green-blue glow.

The Salton Sea is a trippy place. Maybe the smell will still be there for the Cochella folks.

Ew.

Also, I love how the photos consist of a wide shot of all the dead fish, and then a close up of a dying fish "struggling" or "still breathing" among all the other dead fish.
It's like a pattern.
Wide shot.
Struggle.
Wide shot.
Struggle.

Bad smell all around, though.
