This establishing shot was first seen on "The O.C." in Episode 20 (of season two) - "The O.C. Confidential"

Here's something unusual: an establishing shot which is in downtown L.A. !
You're looking south, down the Harbor (110) Freeway, between the 2nd Street & 3rd Street offramps.
The curving middle onramp you see leads from westbound 3rd Street to the southbound Harbor Freeway.
The buildings on the left (east) are part of the Figueroa Courtyard.

   



Important:  These "establishing shots" of Orange County are not locations where The O.C. is actually filmed.
The O.C. is not really filmed in Orange County - it is filmed in Los Angeles County. These "establishing shots"
are brief aerial snapshots of actual Orange County locations, which the producers drop into the show to add color and
to help create the illusion that we are seeing the real Orange County. I have included this list of their "establishing shots"
to supplement the main list of actual filming locations. You can tell the difference by color: the actual filming location
pages are gold, while the "establishing shot" pages are blue.
