Going back in time to about 1935 when Los Angeles beachgoers on the Pacific Ocean had to share the beach with dozens of oil derricks. I can only imagine how the air smelled! It's so strange that the folks on the beach just thought this was all normal!
Yes, another trip back with the repaired time machine. (over time, capacitors begin to leak and vacuum tubes fail. Some of these parts are getting difficult to find these days!)
I've been in Southern California over the years and the beaches near LA are very scenic. (until the recent forest fires, that is). Just imagine how much that air reeked of hydrocarbons back when this photo was captured. I strongly suspect that a certain amount of underground oil also seeped out in the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
