Rear View
Nikon D7000 10-24mm @ 16mm ISO 200 1/50 f/11 Lr4, TpzSim; PsCS6
This ismage validates the photographer’s mantra “Always look behind.” This image was captured from approximately the same postion as the image published last week, titled “Back Door of Commerce”, just with the camera’s stationary postion rotated 180 degrees. When you are out and about looking for scenes to photograph, always, always remember to check out everything around you, sometimes the changes in perspective can be astounding.
The building houses the Robert Pile Chaffey College Information Center on Seventh Street, which was redeveloped in the former downtown Chino commercial center by the city, Chaffey College and technology industry sponsors for teaching information technology programs. I really like the work that the landscape architect did in the plaza which is behind the adjacent school building, and the commercial buildings on “D” street, the stand of fir trees give me good environmental vibes.

Renwick House
Nikon D7000 18-200mm @ 26mm ISO 200 3- bkts f/11 Lr4, HEP2, TpzSim; PsCS6
After ten years of marriage and the death of her husband, Helen Goodwin Renwick left Iowa and brought her son to Claremont, California. Mrs. Renwick then built her house in 1900 where she raised her son and became a philanthropist to Pomona College. Mrs. Renwick died at the age of 86 in July, 1930, bequeathing her home to Pomona College. From the obituary published July 31, 1930 in the Claremont Courier I found this charming line about Mrs. Renwick:
Following a romance of unusual charm she was married to William Renwick in 1879 and together they enjoyed their home and a companionship in Davenport, Iowa for 10 years.
The Renwick House now serve as the offices of the Pomona College Annual Giving department.
