View from a neighborhood park, looking west toward the snow-covered Black Hills. Lacey, WA, Feb 2023. #PNW #Home #WA #blueskyartshow #photography
Photograph from a neighborhood park, overlooking some houses, with a forest and some gently mountainous landscape in the distance. Clouds almost suggest higher mountain peaks in the background which are not actually there. The Black hills in Washington State are less than 3,000 ft.
