About this Phipps Point wall art
The old pier at Phipps Point runs straight out from the rocks on the west side of Hornby Island, its concrete split into slabs and cracked from end to end. It has seen better days and it is still here, a place to throw crab traps from shore for red rock crabs or jump in for a swim. On a calm evening the water in Lambert Channel goes flat, and the colour over Denman Island shows up again on the surface.
I was out there at about twenty past nine on a June evening in 2022, with the sun going down behind Denman and the Vancouver Island mountains lined up beyond it. I kept the camera low at the shore end so the cracks would run up the frame and lead the eye along the pier to the far end.
Anyone who has thrown a crab trap from here will know this pier by its cracks. This Hornby Island photo print keeps them all, with the last of the sun on the water beyond it, a Hornby Island sunset print of the place as it really is.

About This Spot
This Hornby Island print was made on the old pier at Phipps Point, on the west side of the island facing Lambert Channel. The pier runs straight out from the rocky shore, and the sun sets behind Denman Island with the Vancouver Island mountains beyond it. Hornby is two ferries from Vancouver Island, Buckley Bay to Denman and Gravelly Bay to Shingle Spit.

About the Prints
Ways this Phipps Point Pier 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.
