Everything gets devistated.

very cool, the b&w really adds to the feel of desolation and loneliness.

Certainly harsh! For my tastes I would have pushed the levels slightly higher to get some true whites to appear - not many, but some of the salt edges around the sink for example.
Good entry!

odd title which gives me no clue as to what the harsh environment is here, good use of B&W and composition though

Actually, an intriquing shot! I really like it!

I love the Salton Sea. I made it to Mecca this weekend, but will be back at the sea before Summer.

Great contrast, nice composition. Great job!
