GBH Salton Sea, S. California

This GBH was very patient with me, allowing me to get a full frame shot with a 1DX, 600mm +1.4x =840mm. 1/500, f6.3, ISO 400.
For those of you who live in California, the Salton Sea is in danger. A few years back, from what I understand, water rights in the area were sold to San Diego, meaning in 2017, the water that sustains with inland sea will no longer be available, but rather, will go to San Diego. End result, the Salton Sea will dry up, turning into a dust bowl, similar to what happened in Owens Valley. Although the Sonny Bono wildlife refuge will continue, the lack of water in the sea itself will mean that many of the birds that rely on this resource will have to find another place to live. Although the sea was created by mistake, its going to be a sad state of affairs when it dries up. I feel sorry for the people living down wind.
Thanks for looking.

Beautiful image, Nalu, but so sad about the demise of the Salton Sea, and have been following the news of it's plight for quite some time!

What's really sad is that we have all of this environmental this and environmental that put upon us, some good, some not so good, and the big boys are willing to dry up an entire very large lake habitat -
