Description
Today's colors are lavender, purple with touches of oragne and yellow in the sky. The villiage is little more that a silhouette against the colors of the sea and the sky. Each day is different, and scene chages by the hour. San Felipe, Baja California.
....
The small village of San Felipe is located on the north end of the Sea of Cortez within what is known as the Sonoran Desert, a mere 120 miles south of Calexico and Mexicali on the International border between Yuma and San Diego.
It became one of many fishing villages on the Sea of Cortez to attract fisherman from north of the border, and enticing them with an unlimited supply of shark, yellowtail, roosterfish, totuava, Pacific striped marlin, scorpion fish, stingrays, barracuda, and dozens of other species. The Sea of Cortez has been called the Aquarium of the World.
