    Hard to beat the look of leaf shadows on manmade things.

    SoCal is stupid nice. Too bad there’s some damn many people there. And no surprise either.

    Looks dreamy-ideal. All this plus nice weather, of course … Is there more than a few blocks of this kind of thing in Claremont?

      The commercial area is just a few blocks but most of the residential area and Claremont Colleges are just as nice. If I get a chance, I’ll go back for more pics.

      BTW, this is where David Foster Wallace lived from 2002 until his death in 2008.

    The Orange Grove belt along the base of the San Gabriel Mountains was one of the wealthiest areas in the country around 1900. Owning an orange grove then was like owning a vineyard today.
