A day in Hemet by orangecrush

A day in Hemet

Yesterday I took the girls to Hemet California to visit Grandma! Hemet is something of an armpit but it does have a ton of photo ops! My Mom has been checking out 365 for months now and I keep trying to get her to join in! Funny, she knows more of what's going on around here than I do! :o) She thinks there is nothing to shoot in Hemet so I had to stop on the way home and show her some beauty around her! This one is for you Mom, Hemet CA! :)

I want to thank everyone for the amazing comments and fav's on my "Take cover" shot! I am so excited and thankful! I'll be visiting all your work and commenting to try to give a little back! You guys are awesome! Love you all! :)
Excellent shot. i really love this. fave.

Love the light glinting on the tracks and the ring around the sun.
April 8th, 2013  
Beautiful shot - love the color on the tracks! (And for some reason this photo makes me think of "Breaking Bad". I know it is a random thought!)
April 8th, 2013

@vskolnik Thanks, Vee! If you only could have seen behind me and beside me you would change your mind! :o) I always say, the only thing that matters is what's in the viewfinder! :)
April 8th, 2013  
It may not be beautiful when you visit, but you've captured real beauty!
April 8th, 2013  
Wow - gorgeous sunset! I like the railroad in the front and then all of the beautiful colors behind it.
April 8th, 2013  
Stunning! When viewed large there is so much to look at!
April 8th, 2013

@orangecrush All the more reason that it's a great pic! I've been there a few times....I grew up San Gabriel Valley (Baldwin Park/armpit) so I know what you mean:). It is what it is!!!
April 8th, 2013  
Beautiful sunset photo.
April 8th, 2013  
Jerry, this is a beautiful sunset. One thing I have learned on 365 is that there is beauty everywhere. Just look through the lens.
April 8th, 2013  
Nice shot. have never been to Hemet.
April 8th, 2013  
Gorgeous sunset!
April 8th, 2013  
Another unbelievable shot. You do have to look for the beauty to find it and you sure find it!

Love the lines and colors! Sometimes it takes someone from outside to show us the beauty around us...I hope your Mom's rethinking and joins in!
April 8th, 2013  
Wow stunning shot Jerry, the tones and composition are just incredible....well done =)

Oh and fav!
April 8th, 2013

April 8th, 2013  
Beautiful
April 8th, 2013  
Jerry, the photo is fantastic, and I love the strong sun
April 8th, 2013  
Vivid sunset colors. Nicely processed!
April 8th, 2013  
Beautiful! I live nearby (I'm in Moreno Valley/Riverside). I need to look around the next time I visit my brother in Hemet. I love the colors and the reflection on the tracks create such beautiful leading lines.
April 8th, 2013  
Wow Jerry this is beautiful.
April 8th, 2013  
Gorgeous. It's funny when looking at the tracks how they don't seem to be perfectly straight... without that light you wouldn't notice it. Nicely done, indeed.
April 8th, 2013  
Fav. This is incredible.
April 8th, 2013  
Gorgeous.
April 8th, 2013  
@ozziehoffy I know, I thought the same thing! I think these are just really old and unused. Taking a trip in a train on these and you could jar your dentures loose!
April 8th, 2013  
The road looks like a rope
April 8th, 2013  
I think you mom will be pleased... gorgeous shot!
April 8th, 2013  
Lovely colors. Way to show your mother!
April 8th, 2013  
Beautiful golden lines. Tell your mom there are always the eye of the beholder shots. Beauty is where we find it.
April 8th, 2013  
Jerry, are these rails? They look rather crooked.
April 8th, 2013

April 8th, 2013  
Hemet becomes beautiful when looking at it through your appreciative eye Jerry. This is stunning. Fav
