About this Helliwell Provincial Park wall art
The path at Helliwell Provincial Park runs along the top of the bluffs on Hornby Island, worn down to small stones between banks of long grass. On a June evening that grass goes gold, the sun sits low behind the firs, and a small cove below holds a pile of bleached driftwood against dark rock. Past the water, the Vancouver Island mountains still carry some snow.
It was a little before nine on June 25, 2022, and a beautiful evening for a walk. I took this from the path without realizing there were seven deer in the frame. They grazed quietly on the grass as we walked on across this unique landscape.
The deer are small against the far grass, and it takes a while to find all seven. Hang this Helliwell Provincial Park wall art somewhere you pass every day and they turn up one at a time. As a Hornby Island photo print, it keeps that walk the way it was, gold grass, driftwood and all.

About This Spot
The path in this print is part of the bluff loop in Helliwell Provincial Park, on St. John's Point at the east end of Hornby Island, reached by St. John's Point Road from Central Road. The loop runs about 5 km through open grassland along the bluffs and back through Douglas fir and Garry oak forest, and the park is day-use and open year-round. In the evening the sun drops toward the trees at the far end of the grass and lights it from the side, and deer graze here, so it pays to walk slowly. 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.
