Description
Sailing at 15 knots in the early morning mist through the Straits of Gibraltar, this epic scene is a rare sight of the coast of Northern Africa and the region of Morocco from such a perspective.
Approximately 9 miles (14 km) wide at its narrowest point, the Strait of Gibraltar is the entry point into the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean. It is bordered by the continents of Africa and Europe, and the countries of Morocco, Spain, the British colony of Gibraltar, and the Spanish exclave of Ceuta.
The Strait depth extends to 900 metres (3,000 ft) on the shortest route, although it is only about 300 metres deep slightly further west, where the European and African tectonic plates meet. The shortest crossing is 14 kilometres (8.7 mi).
This beautiful work from UK artist Mark (M.A) Taylor will be the focal point of any space and comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. This is also the first featured work in M.A's brand new 2016 collection, La Galleria de Arte.
