VIDEO: A blast at Bombay Beach, East Jesus and Salvation Mountain

During the American Documentary Film Festival in Palm Springs we took a short car trip towards Salton Sea (the largest lake in California, 890km²) It is a shallow, saline, endorheic rift lake located directly on the San Andreas Fault. We headed then towards Bombay Beach, how could you resist to what that name inspires as a destination in the desert, we  went to the cheesy colorful Salvation Mountain and finished our trip at the nearby art garden East Jesus!. 

Full of amazing art surprises and improvised installations...soft planes, concept cars and more.

"Salvation Mountain is a literal man-made mountain 28 years in the making, covered in half a million gallons of latex paint. What started as a small monument made of dirt and painted cement became, over time, a sprawling adobe and hay-bale mountain complex, with peripheral structures made of telephone poles, tires, and car windows, as well as art cars and sculptures, all painted in a patchwork of stripes and color blocks of whatever paint was donated that week." — Aaron Huey, National Geographic
