Default Laguna Hills

Cul-de-sac in Nellie Gail Ranch community, one of the few equestrian communities of South Orange County located in the city of Laguna Hills. Nellie Gail is not gated like many other communities with million+ homes and is very popular for driving through at Christmas time to see the elaborate lights on the beautiful homes.

See horse trail and horse crossing sign, typical throughout the area


Across this drain ditch, train tracks, and freeway is the hills of Mission Viejo. Crane is at Mission Hospital, where a second tower is going up.



Cabot Road approaching Oso Parkway. Train tracks and freeway located down the hill on the right.


Now in Mission Viejo, this is the Madrid Community surrounding Mission Viejo High School.



Chrisanta Drive, where Mission Viejo High is off of, with he school located to the right.

The original street in Mission Viejo, this is La Paz Road. Beautiful street with jacaranda trees up the entire road, making for a great entrance to the city center.

Barcelona Hills track in north Mission Viejo. Great neighborhood set on a very big hill with panoramic views of the valley below. It is very pretty at night.



Trabuco Road approaching Los Alisos Blvd. and the MV/Lake Forest border.

Serrano Highlands- One of Lake Forest's best neighborhoods. Very clean and good quality constructed homes.



Forgot this one yesterday from San Marino in Mission Viejo

Its graduation season here in Orange County! I'm so sad, my oldest graduates next year What is a mother to do? Well, my son was a junior honor escort (the people holding the flags in pics) for the graduation ceremony of this years senior class. I went to take a few photos of him doing this. It is a nice tradition at the school where a selected group of juniors represent the junior class in giving the best wishes of the juniors to the graduating seniors. I ended up staying for the whole ceremony and kept thinking how I'll be here next year for my own son.
So, here is commencement at Capistrano Valley High School in Mission Viejo








Anyone have their kids graduating or already graduated this year? It would be nice to share the photos. We have a lot of great high schools here in Orange County and the more photos in this thread the better. I really wish I could get some photos of other areas, but I'm in south county mainly so lets get some more from North OC and the beaches. This is a really great thread and it should represent this county the best it can.

I've attached a few (very old, hence the quality) pics of Rancho Santa Margarita from the mid-1980's. In order, they are:

Antonio Parkway where the Villas Antonio apartments are now (facing opposite direction)

Empresa and Santa Margarita (on the same side of the street as the car dealers)

Plano Trabuco and Joshua Drive (and my name is Joshua, which is why we took a pic of that sign )

No gangs in OC except for Santa Ana maybe... Not like LA for sure.

Garden Grove is NOT upper middle class according to OC standards... Good schools, yes, but beautiful it is NOT!

I live in RSM and consider that to be middle class, Dove Cyn, Laguna Niguel to be UPPER middle class, and Newport Coast/Laguna Beach to be upper class. Garden Grove is just a slight step above Santa Ana in my opinion.

I hate Irvine! Work there but could NEVER live there. Traffic lights are a mess, and it's ugly!

RafaelRivera is on a distinguished road
Default Main Beach Aerial Picture

Hello, My name is Rafael Rivera. I specialize in a very unique type of photography that takes a dynamic leap outside of the photographic frame. The picture of Main Beach Park below is actually a composite of 76 images created in photoshop. This is an amazing way to represent an area of land. My images have incredible 3D qualities because I don't just photograph what is in front of me but also what is below me and in my peripheral vision. This creates and image that comes very close to providing a virtual reality type experience for the viewer. So far I have 2 large pictures of Laguna Beach Completed.


below are details of my Main Beach picture

You can see in this image below the incredible detail that my pictures have. People love my work because they can never get tired of looking at all the details and discovering new things in the picture. The detail of the people in my pictures comes just short of being able to recognize faces but people have been able to recognize themselves in my pictures simply by what they are wearing.
