Sacred Ground

"If it hits the ground, it hits the Sound!" This image depicts the direct connection between people and the sea through our rivers and local waters. It's a part of a campaign by the City of Tacoma's Environmental Services to help people living in Tacoma understand the impact their every day existence has on the sea, salmon, and orcas that live there. The mountain is Mount Rainier/Tahoma, the skyline is the city of Tacoma, and the foliage are salmonberry bushes, which are a native plant known to grow alongside salmon-bearing streams.
