About this Helliwell Provincial Park wall art
Below the bluffs at Helliwell Provincial Park, huge boulders litter the Hornby Island shore before the drop into the sea. They sit in shade, dark and pebbled, with the calm blue of the Strait of Georgia against them. Further along, the low sun reaches the grass on the bluff top, a line of firs and the far headland, and turns them gold.
Helliwell is a unique place on Hornby, with steep bluffs, grasslands and old growth forest, and this is one of my favourite viewpoints. I was there a little after eight on a June evening in 2022. The sun was setting, but the light was only hitting the trees in the distance, so I turned the camera vertical and gave the boulders the bottom of the frame.
This Helliwell Provincial Park wall art suits a hallway or a narrow wall, with the dark boulders low in the frame and the gold trees and high cloud above them. As a Hornby Island photo print it shows the bluffs the way they look from the top, late on a summer day.

About This Spot
This Helliwell Provincial Park print was made from the bluffs on St. John's Point, at the east end of Hornby Island, reached by St. John's Point Road from Central Road. The park's loop trail runs about 5 km along the bluffs and back through Douglas fir and Garry oak forest. Late in the day the sun leaves these boulders in shade and lands on the trees further along the shore. Hornby is two ferries from Vancouver Island, Buckley Bay to Denman and Gravelly Bay to Shingle Spit.

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.
