About this Wild Pacific Trail wall art
The Wild Pacific Trail follows the rock edge of the Ucluelet peninsula, spruce and cedar on one side and the open Pacific on the other. On the west coast of Vancouver Island the weather does not wait for anyone, and an April evening can go from clear sky to cloud rolling in off the water inside an hour, the swell breaking on the black rock the whole time.
We walked the trail at sunset that evening in 2011 as the cloud came in off the ocean and closed over the sun, and I thought the light was finished. Then the sun found a gap low over the water and the whole bank of cloud lit up orange above the surf, so I made this frame from the trail before it shut again.
Colour like that comes from the weather rather than the forecast, and it rarely lasts more than a few minutes. If you know this coast, you will know the moment. This Ucluelet wall art holds it on the wall, and as one of the Ucluelet art prints in the Tofino collection it puts a west coast sunset in the room every evening.

About This Spot
This frame was made from the ocean side of the Lighthouse Loop, a short walk north of Amphitrite Point Lighthouse, looking out over the shore rock and the surf as the sun dropped toward the water. The loop is a 2.6 kilometre section of the Wild Pacific Trail, reached from the end of Coast Guard Road or from the He-Tin-Kis Park lot on Peninsula Road, free and open all year. The sun sets straight out over the Pacific from here, and in spring the cloud moves through fast enough that a grey evening can open up in its last ten minutes.

About the Prints
Ways this Ucluelet Sunset Through Breaking Clouds 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.
