Claremont California 91711

The place we currently call home. Starting in 1981 we've lived in Claremont three times, on and off, for almost ten years.The 2010 population was 34,926. In July 2007, the city was rated by Money magazine as the fifth best place to live in the United States, and was the highest rated California city on the list.

It's known primarily for its colleges (a total of seven, plus a school of theology) and its magnificent trees. There is a beautiful old stand of American Elm along Indian Hill Boulevard that has been untouched by Dutch Elm disease.

Depot and Jacaranda Blooms

Santa Fe depot circa 1927. Claremont's original depot was built in 1887 and was the transportation hub for citrus shipments and land speculators. It was demolished in 1928 after this Spanish Revival structure was completed.

"Dividing the Light" - James Turrell 2007

"Dividing the Light" - James Turrell 2007

This is an installation on the Pomona College campus. "Dividing the Light" gathers visitors on benches beneath a canopy that frames a window to the sky. At dusk and dawn a lighting program bathes the canopy in changing colors, from goldenrod to turquoise, altering the viewer’s perception of the sky that is visible here as a blue diamond. A shallow pool centered beneath the opening to the sky mirrors the daytime sky and reflects a dark echo of the night sky.
