In yesterday's post I mentioned that I found the Digital Collections section of The University of Washington's Library website to have an extensive gathering of historic old photos of the pacific northwest. In looking further into that collection I ran across a number of them depicting the Olympia/Tumwater area. Above is a photo I took in October 2007. Obviously I originally was looking at the reflection of beautiful fall colors across Capitol Lake. Also pictured is the dome of The Legislative Building and the power house for The Capitol Campus. If you click here you'll see a slightly older version of the power house.

Whan an amzaing reflection. it looks like you flipped it, but I know you didn't! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteamazing was the first word that came to my mind too... i love the tree colors as well =)
ReplyDeleteNice colours, nice reflection, nice contrast between the round and the square buildings.
ReplyDeletea perfect mirror, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThe power house seems to have expanded but what caught my eye were the trees — they're all so much taller than the smokestack now! Love that fact.
ReplyDeleteThe reflection in your photo is just perfect!
beautiful shot. great reflection.
ReplyDeleteA picture I like is when you are going south on I-5 and you come around a corner and--boom---there is the capitol building right THERE. Very impressive. MB
This is a superb photo, Don! The colors, the reflections in the still lake...absolutely gorgeous! Frame it and hang it!
ReplyDeleteThe reflection is simply magical.
ReplyDeleteAw shucks. I was just trying to get you to look at that old building with the smoke stack. Thank you all. I appreciate the compliments.
ReplyDeleteWonderful change of colors. The glassy water provided a beautiful reflection. Very interesting post.
ReplyDeleteI really like this photograph for its clarity and that reflection is a killer. I wonder how it looks upside down?
ReplyDeleteThat is a stunning reflection!
ReplyDeleteThis photo is overwhelming exquisite. Pure perfection in a photographed reflection is another way to put it. My gosh! I would have loved to be standing beside you when you took it.
ReplyDeleteJust downright gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful reflection!
