South Puget Sound
Capitol Forest, Olympia, Washington
I went to my favorite high spot in Capitol Forest just west of Olympia hoping to get a photo of Mount Rainier at sunrise. As the sky turned reddish-orange with the rising sun, I looked to the left and saw a scene of mountains, islands, and marine waters that, for me, was the essence of south Puget Sound. This casual glance produced one of my favorite photographs. Photo © copyright by Stephen Penland.
