Princess Cove, Wallace Island, sunset in July. this photo was published in Pacific Yachting, in the Letters to the editor section, after their 2009 photo contest winner, taken at the same place, similar date, was wrongly labelled. they kindly accepted my correction and gave my photo a full half page, at east twice what they had given the winning photo.

the text of my LTE:
I always enjoy the results of the annual photo contest.* This year is no exception.* I also have the winning picture, taken July 2nd, 2009 at 9:50 pm, in Princess Bay, Wallace Island.* Trouble is, you have published a similar photo, taken on a different night, at the same place and time, but you have wrongly located it in Gabriola Passage.* My photo is attached.*
I have long considered Princess Bay the most photogenic place in the Gulf Islands.* I took this shot for my office wall, in 1977. It hung there proudly till it faded out and I retook it in 1988.* I eventually replaced that iteration too, but not before seeing the same scene, at sunset, on the cover of Sail Magazine.* This latest I haven't framed up yet, but now I probably will.* Thanks for publishing the winner's version.<br clear="all" />
