A Place to Watch the Seasons Go By

As a resident of Corona, I was very happy to see something of this wonderful town shared with your readers by the Glenn Koenig photograph of a shepherd tending his flock (“Scene out of the past,” April 10). That photo captured the very thing I have come to love about this town: so close to Los Angeles, and yet so far!

Corona is unlike anything else in the Southland. And that goes for more than just the flocks feeding through the various fields of Corona and Norco. Nature works unoppressed in these towns. Corona is more than just on the way to Riverside; it is a place to stop and watch the clouds and seasons go by in blues and greens.

Most think (as I did) that we are not much more than an occasional smog statistic, but we see very little of the smog, less than you see in Costa Mesa, I’m sure. I was so glad to find that The Times had discovered and published something that will tell many people about the real beauty of this area.
