About this Muchalat Lake wall art
Muchalat Lake sits twenty minutes east of Gold River at the end of a logging road, a long lake walled in by ridges that run west toward Strathcona. In late summer the evening wind comes down the valley, the water goes from glass to chop in a few minutes, and the sun drops into the notch between the mountains at the far end.
This was my first trip to the Gold River area, and we had a campsite near the shore at the recreation site. The clouds looked promising, so I walked down to the dock and worked through compositions as the lake got rougher. I caught this frame just as the last rays slid behind the near ridge while the peaks behind were still lit.
Ridge behind ridge, gold fading to grey, the wind on the water below: Muchalat Lake wall art from the quiet side of Vancouver Island, and a Muchalat Lake photo print for a wall that likes its evenings warm.

About This Spot
This Muchalat Lake print was made from the dock at the Muchalat Lake Recreation Site, about twenty minutes east of Gold River on the logging road, with the campsites in the Douglas fir behind. The dock faces up the lake, so the sunset drops between the ridges at the far end, and the wind tends to rise in the evening and put texture on the water. The site is open from May to September.

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.
