[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2265677, member: 372207"] They're beautiful and are giving me goosebumps. We have a small village in the Netherlands (Paesens-Moddergat) where all the men between 12 and 60 (or so, can't remember exactly) except 3 were lost at sea in a storm in 1883, march 5 - 6. Impossible to imagine how that must've changed the village for a century or longer! Many coastal places have some monument, often women looking out at sea for all who are lost at sea. They always touch me, because my mother has drowned in a freakish storm when sailing when I was 20 years old, so those monuments are for her as well. The area you describe sounds like a place I'd love to visit one day! [/QUOTE]
