I have photographed the Malaspina Gallery on Gabriola Island many times in the past 10 years or so. It is an amazing natural formation that is well worth the ferry trip over to the island to view. The best time to photograph the Malaspina Gallery is at sunset but keep in mind that around the summer solstice the sun is too far north. This image was shot on July 10. The tide level is also critical as the galleries look best at high tide.

In a nutshell, you need to figure out when the high tide is close to sunset and plan accordingly. Fortunately most people have long gone back to their cottages so the chances are you will have the place to yourself.
