{"product_id":"misery-beach-albany-wall-art","title":"Misery Beach Wall Art Albany WA","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMisery Beach Wall Art — Albany, Western Australia\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNamed Australia's Best Beach by Tourism Australia in 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e, Misery Beach has the worst name and the best sand in the country. This aerial photograph shows exactly why the title landed here: brilliant white sand, water in three distinct shades of blue, and the bare grey dome of granite rising straight out of the bush behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name comes from a grimmer past. Misery Beach sits directly below the old whaling station on the Torndirrup peninsula — now \u003cstrong\u003eAlbany's Historic Whaling Station at Discovery Bay\u003c\/strong\u003e, the last operating whaling station in Australia until it closed in 1978. These days the only thing happening in this cove is swimming, and the whales pass by unharmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOriginal aerial photography by Matthew Philip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonally shot by Western Australian aerial photographer \u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eThe extremes here are brutal on a sensor — blinding sand against dark granite\u003c\/strong\u003e — and the drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera holds detail at both ends without flattening either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLandform, not just a beach\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe granite gives this piece \u003cstrong\u003estructure that most beach scenes lack\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the water gives it colour. That combination suits living rooms, offices and interiors that can carry something with genuine drama in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also comes with the best story in the collection: \u003cstrong\u003ethe best beach in Australia, with the worst name on the map\u003c\/strong\u003e — a conversation piece that earns its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable as a \u003cstrong\u003efine art paper print or stretched canvas\u003c\/strong\u003e, with black, oak and white framing options across a full range of sizes. Every artwork in the Matthew Philip collection comes from his own aerial photographs of beaches he has personally visited and flown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matthew Philip","offers":[{"title":"Stretched Canvas \/ 28x36cm","offer_id":52503414341912,"sku":"MISER03-SC-2836","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stretched Canvas \/ 90x60cm","offer_id":52503437639960,"sku":"MISER03-SC-9060","price":230.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stretched Canvas \/ 100x75cm","offer_id":52503437672728,"sku":"MISER03-SC-10075","price":250.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stretched Canvas \/ 150x100cm","offer_id":52503437705496,"sku":"MISER03-SC-150100","price":400.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Framed Canvas \/ 28x36cm","offer_id":52503437738264,"sku":"MISER03-BFC-2836","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Framed Canvas \/ 90x60cm","offer_id":52503437771032,"sku":"MISER03-BFC-9060","price":340.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Framed Canvas \/ 100x75cm","offer_id":52503437803800,"sku":"MISER03-BFC-10075","price":370.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Framed Canvas \/ 150x100cm","offer_id":52503437836568,"sku":"MISER03-BFC-150100","price":550.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak Framed Canvas \/ 28x36cm","offer_id":52503437869336,"sku":"MISER03-OFC-2836","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak Framed Canvas \/ 90x60cm","offer_id":52503437902104,"sku":"MISER03-OFC-9060","price":340.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak Framed Canvas \/ 100x75cm","offer_id":52503437934872,"sku":"MISER03-OFC-10075","price":370.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Oak Framed Canvas \/ 150x100cm","offer_id":52503437967640,"sku":"MISER03-OFC-150100","price":550.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Framed Canvas \/ 28x36cm","offer_id":52503438000408,"sku":"MISER03-WFC-2836","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Framed Canvas \/ 90x60cm","offer_id":52503438033176,"sku":"MISER03-WFC-9060","price":340.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Framed Canvas \/ 100x75cm","offer_id":52503438065944,"sku":"MISER03-WFC-10075","price":370.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Framed Canvas \/ 150x100cm","offer_id":52503438098712,"sku":"MISER03-WFC-150100","price":550.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Print \/ 28x36cm","offer_id":52503438131480,"sku":"MISER03-FAP-2836","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Print \/ 90x60cm","offer_id":52503438164248,"sku":"MISER03-FAP-9060","price":200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Print \/ 100x75cm","offer_id":52503438197016,"sku":"MISER03-FAP-10075","price":220.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Print \/ 150x100cm","offer_id":52503438229784,"sku":"MISER03-FAP-150100","price":300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/7615\/2344\/files\/DJI_0942_1_-_3.2_ratio_80cf15c4-2481-4bab-9106-0bdb9247f34f.jpg?v=1786344060","url":"https:\/\/matthewphilip.com\/products\/misery-beach-albany-wall-art","provider":"Matthew Philip","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
