About this Morning Beach wall art
Morning Beach is a small cove on the east side of Galiano Island, facing the Strait of Georgia and the mainland beyond. On a warm afternoon it fills with swimmers, and children swing out over the water from ropes tied to the trees along the shore. At low tide the rocks come up through the shallows thick with rockweed, and on a calm morning the water between them holds the whole sky.
In June the sun comes up here around five, early enough that I had the beach to myself. I set a 17mm lens low over the rockweed and bracketed exposures so the bright horizon and the dark rock would both hold, while the clouds turned pink and gold above the distant mountains and the water went flat around the stones.
If you are the one awake before the rest of the house, this is your hour. This Galiano Island sunrise wall art keeps it on the wall, a print of Morning Beach on Galiano Island before anyone else arrives.

About This Spot
Morning Beach is on the east shore of Galiano Island, a short drive north of the Sturdies Bay ferry terminal, and BC Ferries sail to Sturdies Bay from Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen. A short public path leads down from the road to the cove, and the rockweed-covered rocks in front of the beach are exposed at lower tides. In June the sun rises over the Strait of Georgia around five, behind the mainland mountains, and at that hour the water is often calm enough to mirror the clouds.

About the Prints
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.
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.
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.
No customs fees on cross-border orders.
Based in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
A reprint or store credit if the print isn't right.
