I was out covering a boating incident on Maplewood Place SW which turned out to be minor. Walking back up the hill to a spot that is parking area, I noticed that one of the ferries that makes the run between Vashon and Fauntleroy was headed east and that on that morning, the air was exceptionally clear, the Olympics looking tall and beautiful in the distance.

I waited until the ferry made it to a point between two tree tops and snapped a photo. As is often the case, that photo was treated a bit in software to add a tiny bit of sharpness and correct the color and it was posted on Facebook to share the beauty of the area.

Then things sort of took an unexpected turn. People began to notice it, and share it and comment about it.

At last count the photo had reached 70,976 people reached, with 935 likes. 6,588 Reactions, Comments & Shares.

Social media can be amazing when it's something people like or care about.

So, thank you to everyone who has enjoyed the photo.
