I went to the Orange Grove for my ethnography. I rarely spend my time at the Orange Grove but the scenery and setting is peaceful. It is located on the south side of California State University, Northridge to the east of the Valley Performing Arts Center. It is peaceful and not too noisy, which is great because I can forget all the busy work that I have to do. As I entered the Orange Grove going east, I saw a sign that read “Orange Grove”.
I walked between the two brown lamps. All the brown lamps line up across and next to each other, which made me feel like I am walking in the woods. All brown lamps have banners showing the special buildings at California State University, Northridge. The special buildings include the KCSN radio studio, Valley Performing Arts Center, and the gymnasium called the Student Recreation Center. I felt like I got lost for a moment. The sun shines directly at my light skin, feeling like I will have sunburn within a matter of minutes. I saw many trees lining up in all directions. It was lined up in front, diagonally, to the left, behind, and to the right of each other. The trees are located on the dirt off the main walkway. Some have green and yellow leaves and oranges all over the branches. Others have no oranges but have leaves. Those trees fall to the dirt. Some oranges are covered completely with dirt, some partially, and others not covered.

I smelled the fresh air from the gentle, light wind. This provided me warmth and comfort without feeling too hot on my skin. The white clouds are next to the bright sun, which means the clouds are not covering the sun. It translated to a clear and sunny day at California State University, Northridge.
I had noticed there are not too many people. That translated to a not very busy place. I have encountered just a few of them, mostly people walking through the walkway. One person I have encountered is an aging female with black shirt and dress walking diagonally between the trees. Later, there is a student with a black basketball short walking on the main road. Also, I noticed three women walking on the main sidewalk. Later at the same place, I noticed two adults, a woman and a man, walking. They were having conversations with each other. The woman was wearing green shirt and black pants. After that, I went to the white bench located on the east end of the Orange Grove. There were two students sitting, a male and a female. They were sitting on the bench having conversations with each other. The male student has glasses, a light skin, a placard shirt, blue jeans, and black Nike shoe. Later as I was heading back on the main road, a woman passed by with goldilocks hair and wore black shirt. She was listening to her favorite tunes on the iPod with the earbuds on her ears.
