Ancient Ruins of Steilacoom II by

These ancient ruins are actually what is left of a old gravel pit that was started in 1945. A few years ago the land was aquired by Pierce County and turned into a pro class links style golf course and public park.

Image captured using a Nikon D-300 with a Sigma 10 to 20mm lens, processed with Photoshop and Silver FX pro.

About Bryan Peterson

My photographs are not always technically correct, I tend to break the rules but I do that knowing what the rules are and having a reason to do so. My photographic images are what and how I see the world around me in my minds eye—they are who I am.

    Great shot Bryan.

  • Thanks Gail. This is Puget Sound’s version of Stone Henge.

    Wow I would have been mystified if you didn’t tell me what it was :-)

  • Thanks Dale, years from now when everyone has forgotten about the old gravel business I wonder what people will be thinking about these structures? Aliens or some kind of religious cult perhaps.

    Excellent image

  • Thank you Bruce, it’s not often I get to capture a local image that you would never guess comes for Puget Sound by looking at it.

    Would have never thought it was WA cool treatment on these

  • Thanks Dave, that was the great thing about this photo-shoot, in color the images I took look very fitting for Puget Sound (green grass and fairly flat gray sky) but when converted to black and white it changes everything, looking like someplace else altogether..
