A Photo Tour of Orange County

Orange County, CA - The home of surfers, bald men who drive Ferraris and members of The John Birch Society. Orange County is conservative, affluential, full of beautiful people, 364 days of gorgeous sunshine and one heck of a place to live! I had the great fortune to live here (Newport Beach) for five years before I moved back to my hometown of San Diego.

Get ready to take a sneak peek behind the "Orange Curtain." Enjoy the photos and let me know what you think.

Well chosen shots and nicely done.. Like most other native Californians, you're beautiful reminders of how gorgeous OC is makes me so very homesick.. I don't know if the East Coast sucks, but Louisiana sure does. No bodysurfing here, too many gators and snakes, ugghh!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us..

Ben,

Priced out of the Orange County market? Don't worry your trailer in Hemet will appreciate soon!

Orange County sucks. Its all hype.

Beautifull gallery. Really like the sunset and sunrise shots at the beach. Gives a great impression of the OC but PV is better :) Voted!

These photos are fantastic and we enjoyed the short vacation we had in California. Have to disagree with Caligirl that the East Coast "sucks"; maybe Baltimore. You need to try the Great Smoky Mountain area of Tennessee, girl. I live in Georgia now, but everytime I go back to Knoxville, I get homesick. You won't find much nicer folks or beautiful scenery. Southern born and southern bred!!

Beautiful gallery of the OC Sam. Those sunset shots are terrific!!!

These shots are phoenomenal. Have been stuck here in Baltimore for 2 years, and these shots are seriously making me want to pack up my truck and move back to the OC right NOW! Jason, I can't agree with you more, the east coast DOES SUCK! The landscape sucks, the weather sucks, and the people suck. Cali si the best...after seeing these shots, I don't think I can stay here even one more day. Thank you for them!

This wonderful gallery sure makes me want to head back out to Cali.

Great gallery, Sam

Very nice gallery. I grew up in OC and spent a lot of summers bodysurfing on Newport Peninsula and Huntington Beach, bopping around Laguna in my VW and Fiat 124 Spyder.
Great memories.

Great O.C. shots. I especially like Balboa at night and the twilight surfers in Newport. The Duke is pretty cool as well.
