About this Fossil Beach wall art
The tide is high at Fossil Beach on Hornby Island, and the water is rougher than usual. Waves roll in and break over the stones, leaving them wet and the sand dark. The sun sits low over Vancouver Island, with mountains lined up along the horizon to the left and a band of cloud picking up the orange above it.
We came down the short trail on the evening of July 1, 2023, to catch the sunset. As the sun dropped, the wet rocks and sand started to reflect the bright yellow, and the wave crests lit up along with them. I framed it with the stones filling the bottom of the picture and the shoreline running back toward the sun.
Hornby Island is not always calm. This Fossil Beach Hornby Island print shows it on a rougher evening, with the waves still moving through the stones and the sun right at the horizon. Hang this Hornby Island sunset print where you want some weather along with the colour.

About This Spot
Fossil Beach is on the northwest shore of Hornby Island near Collishaw Point, a short walk down a trail. The shoreline is known for Late Cretaceous fossils in its rock, and in summer the sun sets over Vancouver Island across the water. Hornby is two ferries from Vancouver Island, Buckley Bay to Denman and Gravelly Bay to Shingle Spit.

About the Prints
Ways this Fossil Beach Sun Over Vancouver Island print can live on your wall
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.
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.
