my father's final photo

My father was a regular photographer throughout his adult life. By some coincidence, he shot the same Olympus gear that I do. Anyway, I believe the above pic of a sailboat in a harbor in Canada's British Columbia is the final photo he ever took. I'm afraid the rest of his work is lost as he dispensed with his possessions in the years before his death -- quite unlike how it's done in my mother's side of the family! 8^)

Though defensive violence will always be a sad necessity in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.
