Abram-Village, PEI - Dory at Low Tide

A weathered dory rests quietly as the tide pulls back, leaving colour, reflection, and time suspended.

At Abram-Village, Prince Edward Island, this working boat sits cradled in red sand, its worn hull glowing against shallow water that mirrors every line and tone. The scene speaks softly of the Island’s tidal rhythm—boats waiting patiently, light shifting gently, and the shoreline revealing itself inch by inch. There’s no urgency here, only the steady calm of coastal life unfolding as it always has.

This image finds its strength in simplicity: the honest geometry of a dory, the rich rust and gold of PEI earth, and the stillness that settles in when the sea pauses. It’s a moment that feels grounded, familiar, and deeply rooted in place.

Hangs well in: a living room, coastal-inspired office, entryway, or cottage wall—bringing warmth, reflection, and a quiet sense of Island rhythm into the space.
