people gathered to honour the glorious sunset and those lost at sea, at the monument dedicated to the memory of lost fishermen at Steveston, BC, Canada. This monument is a replica of a Gillnetter's Needle.
Altho' these waters look calm, they are very unpredictable, especially in the area where the river meets the open water, causing severe currents.
2 years ago a heavily laden fishing boat with a family onboard, was returning to Steveston when it capsized, - the mother, 2 children and 2 other family members drowned. Only the father survived.

thanks Golda, glad you like it. Interesting about your experience with commercial fishing. It is a lovely tribute, I didn't see the plaque when there, but looked it up online. The wondrous sunsets there really set the monument off beautifully.
