✨ Star Trails Over the Swing at Bombay Beach 🌟

            The name of the swing set art installation is "The Water Ain't That Bad, It's Just Salty" and it was created by Chris "Ssippi" Wessman & Damon James Duke with the Bombay Bunny Club in an effort to get people into the water to realize that the water is fine... it's just really salty. 

Shot on November 6, 2021 with a Canon EOS R and Canon RF 15-35mm lens. I stacked 174 exposures each at 28 sec f/4.0 ISO 800.

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 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.
