PICTURES of ORANGE COUNTY (Los Angeles, Santa Ana: smog, deal, tree)

[Raelyn28]

Fontucky I am not bashing OC. Amhealy has the right idea by posting the pic "signs of the times". I understand how some people go into denial not wanting to admit the negative aspects of California but once again other people that have never been there need to know.. Why do you say I am bashing?? I have said good things about OC. What is your problem with honestly? Is this a forum for questions about moving somewhere or do you work for a travel agency in California?? What is the big deal??

They should work now. I uploaded them to flickr.
They aren't much or anything amazing though.

Excuse me for butting in, but I think Fontucky's point is that this is a picture thread, not an O.C. bashing thread. I think she was correct that if one wants to bash O.C., to go join the O.C. bashing thread that was started and let this thread be for pictures of O.C.

I am curious about Saddleback Mountain I have seen in many of these photos. Is it an area open to the public? Are there hiking trails that go to the top?

OK no problem, it is a picture thread. Then include pictures of ALL parts of OC, not just the good ones. What is the point of this forum if it is only giving portions of information? This forum is called City Data Forum. The definition of data is: "Factual information used as a basis for reasoning, discussion or calculation", according to the Websters dictionary. Therefore, if it is a forum used specifically to gather information about a city.. why not include the whole picture instead of what you want to show. Is the forum about you or about those who are looking for a place to live?? Stop being so selfish. If you guys want to share your great beach photos go to Google images or send them into National Geographic or something. I just don't get why you are doing this to people?? Fortunately, I have been to OC so I wouldn't fall into the trap of believing it looks like all those pretty pictures. But for the naive and those who have never been there, they are going to look at those pictures and think that OC is this paradise, move there and probably be disappointed unless they make more than a six figure income. But then again, this is about you and not them right??? You guys are totally off base with this. Does anyone here understand what I am talking about???

He.

To Raelyn: People are free to post any part of OC they feel like. If there aren't enough non-glamorous shots to suit you*, then find your way to OC and head over to Delhi in Santa Ana, Crow Village in Stanton, or the La Zanja section of San Juan Capistrano and take as many as you want... then post them! It's as simple as that. There's hardly a conspiracy at work here that's keeping the gritty/non-glamorous parts of OC from being posted. Jeeze. Have you given thought to getting your meds adjusted, my dear?


* Did you catch the Garden Grove pictures earlier in this topic?

Uh no it wasn't, the caption read "Orange County". Check out my newest post under the Orange County section titled "the truth about orange county". I am not a negative person with a vindictive personality. I just feel like before I moved there nobody told me the truth about a place that was very difficult to live in.. I don't want other people to experience the same thing. I have now lived in two other states after my move away from California and I am totally happy.. You have to leave California to understand or maybe you can't leave and you are in denial or rich.. What is it??? Why are you such a groupie to this post??
