Unfortunate end for the poor salmon but as you say it keeps others alive

I'm with Stefan, salmon is my favorite too. We're actually having Salmon and Ribs for Christmas dinner tonight. I really like this photo Zin. I've heard about salmon spawning and then dying. A short life they have, but a purposeful life, and as you said, they keep on giving after they pass away.

Salmon is my favorite seafood and I get the whole life cyle thing; this is a very strong reminder of how the world works. Really good, Zin. --Stefan
