Suburban Sprawl

This was shot last week as my father, brother and I went a hike near my parents home in southern
California. Lots of new homes are sprouting up, but the city is trying to maintaining some
Open Space for in the hills for hiking.

Hopefully they will keep areas open for hiking - with access to the trails! Thats a lot of sprawl.

What a beautiful view!
Elaine (etfitz)30-Nov-2005 01:35
Gorgeous view! That is a lot of houses!

It's a good photo, but I don't like the continuous sprawling river of houses.
What a view it must have been once.

Nice composition.
Karen Leaf29-Nov-2005 04:43
It sure looks like it. Can you imagine being the first one to put up a house here and now have to deal with 10000 other houses??
It's a beautiful spot, and I can see why so mamy would want to be there.

very nice.. yes cities are taking over the land.
Wolfgang Wander29-Nov-2005 03:32
Given this perspective that spawl looks actually quite nice. No compliment for the sprawl but for your picture of it ;-)

I think one day our valley will look like this. Nice shot Bryan but I'd prefer a few less houses. :^)

open space is so important - I hope the houses don't encroach too far.
Di28-Nov-2005 22:28
At least they are trying to maintain some openspace. Looks like a beautiful place to live.

Nice shot of the area........looks like a good place to do some hiking.

Wonderful shot of the area with the mountain on the background. I hope sprouting houses limits only up to the ground and won't reach to the mountain..:)

Nice shot

The open mountains are a nice contrast to the clutter.
Karen Stuebing28-Nov-2005 10:38
It looks well planned as they are all consolidated in one are with lots of open space around. They seem a bit close together for me. Nice photo. I like seeing the mountain ranges in the background a balance to the sprawl.
