About this Kye Bay wall art

The tide pulls back from Kye Bay before sunrise, and on a windless April morning the wet flats turn to glass. A shallow pool sits between the gravel and the Strait of Georgia, holding the sky while the first light builds over the water.

I had the beach to myself that spring. It was 2020 and there wasn't much to do, but Kye Bay is a short drive from home, and low tide happened to line up with sunrise, which doesn't come around often. The wind stayed down, the clouds caught fire overhead, and the pool gave the whole scene back in reflection.

Kye Bay on a still spring morning looks like this, and a Kye Bay print holds it the way the light left it. A piece of Kye Bay wall art for anyone who has watched this bay go quiet at dawn.

About This Spot

This Kye Bay print was made on the sand flats at the south end of the bay, a short walk from the parking area off Windslow Road in Comox. The reflecting pools only form at the lowest tides, and the sunrise comes up over the Strait of Georgia to the east.

About the Prints

Ways this Kye Bay Tidal Mirror at Dawn print can live on your wall

Kye Bay Tidal Mirror at Dawn as a framed print.

Framed Print

The print is on 230gsm archival matte paper, matted with a two-inch Peterboro white core mat, and finished in a thin black wood frame. The most traditional of the three finishes, and the one that suits almost any room.

Kye Bay Tidal Mirror at Dawn as a metal print.

HD Metal Print

The image is dye-sublimated into the coating of a ChromaLuxe aluminum panel, not printed on top. That's what gives a metal print its depth, its luminescence, and its longevity. Comes ready to hang on a hidden mount that floats it half an inch off the wall.

Kye Bay Tidal Mirror at Dawn as a acrylic print.

Acrylic Print

The image is face-mounted behind a 1/8-inch optically pure acrylic panel. The thickness adds depth, giving the print a slight glass-like quality where the image seems to sit just behind the surface. Polished edges, with a hidden mount on the back that floats the print half an inch off the wall.
