real life in dream world - a photo on Flickriver

real life in dream world

This picture was inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite painters as well as lovely artist Isabela Lepek.

This past weekend I went to the Salton Sea and the nearby sand dunes. The Salton Sea is a little known treasure in California. It used to be a sea and it got its water from runoff from the Colorado River, but since that water stopped flowing it has been in the process of dying. The beaches have fish bones all over the place, there are abandoned things everywhere...a surreal place. I didn't get to explore a ton of it because, like the blonde that I am, I got my car stuck in the sand while trying to drive to the beach. 4 hours and a drastic drop of temperature later, someone managed to pull us out. I did this picture right after that on the beach and lit the scene with the car headlights.

A picture from the sand dunes to follow :)
