Orange County, CA-Irvine The Real Houses of The OC

Image
These Homes in Shadey Canyon Are Not McMansions-- a pejorative term for a type of large, new luxury house which is judged to be oversized for its parcel, or incongruous and out of place for its surroundings. This was our view this weekend.   These are not mass produced or lacking in distinguishing characteristics, It all fits in  nicely; really liked the neighborhood. Who wouldn't?    It Never Rain  in  California-  it did this weekend. On Movie Sets, however, they wet the road surface to give it that  slightly more spectacular and reflective look . Same effect here. Thanks Mother Nature- You are awesome.  Nice views Drawing water from The Well
