About this Ruckle Provincial Park wall art
Beaver Point is the southeast tip of Salt Spring Island, where Ruckle Provincial Park runs out to the water. The walk-in campsites sit on the grass above the shore rock, and the view carries across Swanson Channel to Pender Island and the rest of the Gulf Islands. On a July evening the sky out there can change in minutes.
We were camped at Ruckle in July 2022 when a storm showed on the horizon. I knew the light might do something, so I hiked out to Beaver Point and arrived just as a rainbow started forming over Pender Island. It grew into a full arc, with a faint second bow off to the left, and I had a few frames before the rain reached us and made shooting hard. I have seen my share of rainbows and this was the brightest.
Rainbows do not wait, and this one held long enough to keep. As a Salt Spring Island photo print it carries the storm light, the calm channel and the full arc over the islands, and as Salt Spring Island wall art it belongs in a room that could use a little luck.

About This Spot
This Salt Spring Island print was made from the rocky shore at Beaver Point, the southeast tip of Ruckle Provincial Park, looking east across Swanson Channel toward Pender Island. The park is about 10 km from the Fulford Harbour ferry along Beaver Point Road, with a parking lot and a short walk to the waterfront campsites and the point. At sunset the light comes from behind you, so a rainbow lands over the islands to the east, and the best frames come in the few minutes between the storm arriving and the rain.

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.
