It was a sad day at White Rock Beach when we heard the news that on March 1, 2018 the Empress Tree in Memorial Park was cut down. Something we noticed at some of the retailers who sell our postcards and greeting cards: the image shown below was spiking in sales a few weeks before the tree was actually cut down and some retailers almost sold out. (Sales of this image in such quantities this time of year is unusual.) This beautiful tree had lasted salt sprays, wind storms and people using the immediate area. If you would like a keepsake – an image of this tree – visit WhiteRockBeach.ca or a Postcard or greeting card retailer or visit the WhiteRockBeachGallery.com. We hope the City of White Rock plans on planting a similar tree in its place or it could be a fall election issue. People wanting to voice their complaints or compliments are urged to purchase one of our postcards or greeting cards and send to the city of White Rock or the members on council you are voting for or not voting for. We understand when renovating surprises sometimes pop up. Many people we have talked to say this tree should have had priority and the design adjusted to save this tree. Time will tell if people are pleased with what is done.

One of our retailers was topped up with this image Feb 28, 2018 the day before the tree was cut down as they were almost sold out. We also have some photo prints of this tree in winter – see below. The sale of the above 13″ x 19″ poster print is expected to be the number one selling poster print for 2018.

Old, torn and sometimes photos in two or more pieces can be restored to their original state or better. Ric Wallace does a high resolution scan from your original image and electronically uses a computer to do the retouching and corrections. High quality photographic prints can be obtained from the computer file. The computer file can be supplied on CD/ DVD, USB, or downloaded from the internet to ensure exact copies can be made for years to come, with no loss in quality like prints made from negatives which will degrade over time.
