Close to the Mexican border, the South of California isn’t the most touristy part of the state, but there’s a lot to see anyway. From the coastline of San Diego to the alternative community of Slab City via the desert of Anza-Borrego and Salvation Mountain, here are my favourite pictures of Southern California!
🇫🇷 Près de la frontière avec le Mexique, le sud de la Californie n’est pas la zone la plus touristique de l’Etat, mais il y a pourtant bien des choses à découvrir. De la côte de San Diego à la communauté de Slab City en passant par le désert d’Anza-Borrego et Salvation Mountain, voici mes photos préférées du sud de la Californie !
