Me viewing the Milky Way core over some steps created by S.SHIGLEY STEELWORKS "SHIG" at Bombay Beach at the Salton Sea.
The Salton Sea was NOT smooth, still, and shiney on this night. In fact there was lots of wind creating violent waves in the water.

Bombay Beach is a census-designated place (CDP) in Imperial County, California, United States. It is located on the Salton Sea, 4 miles (6.4 km) west-southwest of Frink and is the lowest community in the United States, located 223 feet (68 m) below sea level. The population was 295 at the 2010 census, down from 366 in 2000. It is part of the El Centro, California Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The population declined for years and the buildings were rotting away, but by 2018, a number of people had moved into the settlement. An article in The Guardian stated that it was "enjoying a rebirth of sorts with an influx of artists, intellectuals and hipsters who have turned it into a bohemian playground". The Bombay Beach Biennale (pronounced like "be an ollie"), an annual art festival, is held here. The population estimate for 2020 was 415 persons.
S. Shigley "Shig" is a self taught artist and metal fabricator whose unconventional techniques and “no rules” approach to art, inform and define all of his work.
