About this Phipps Point wall art

The water off Phipps Point has gone still, and the sunset is on it as much as above it. Cloud streaks fan out from the last of the sun at the end of Denman Island, and the same colours lie across Lambert Channel. Closer in, the surface turns clear and the sea floor shows between the seaweed-covered boulders.

Hornby Island can be so peaceful in the summer, and I was lucky enough to be there for this one. I stood on the sandstone just north of the old pier at about half past nine on June 24, 2022, with a warm breeze coming off the water. I kept the camera down among the boulders so the reflected clouds would run back between them.

If you know this shore on a calm summer night, you know the colour on the water before you look at the sky. This Hornby Island photo print has both, and the clear water at the bottom of the frame makes it more than a Hornby Island sunset print.

About This Spot

The sandstone shore just north of the old pier at Phipps Point, on the west side of Hornby Island, drops into clear shallows scattered with boulders. In late June the sun goes down past the north end of Denman Island, so the colour lands on Lambert Channel straight in front of you, and a calm evening near low tide gives the clearest reflection. Hornby is two ferries from Vancouver Island, Buckley Bay to Denman and Gravelly Bay to Shingle Spit.

About the Prints

Ways this Hornby Island Evening Reflection print can live on your wall

Hornby Island Evening Reflection as a framed print.

Framed Print

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.

Hornby Island Evening Reflection as a metal print.

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.

Hornby Island Evening Reflection as a acrylic print.

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.
