Based on the average household size of 1. Bombay Beach was once a thriving little beach front community. At Bombay Beach, a building that looks like this, is more than likely your neighbor.
Just before entering Niland we encountered an incredible abandoned warehouse, and where there is abandoned anything, there is graffiti. But in an urban decay setting, it can be pretty wicked when done with some sense of artistic value. We spent a considerable amount of time photographing every last detail.
