Oly-Beach Volleyball Erosion 1
A Bondi surf lifesaver runs along the shoreline in front of the controversial Olympic beach volleyball stadium construction site near Sydney 01 June 2000. Due to heavy seas and high tides, access along the waters edge may be restricted or denied to beach strollers as a safety precaution. Work is already behind schedule on the 10, 000-seat temporary stadium because of complaints of sewerage leaking into the site. (ELECTRONIC IMAGE) AFP PHOTO/Greg WOOD

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the clash between nature's power and human ambition. Against a backdrop of crashing waves and eroding sand, a determined Bondi surf lifesaver races along the shoreline in front of the controversial Olympic beach volleyball stadium construction site near Sydney. The date is June 1st, 2000. As heavy seas and high tides threaten to restrict access along the water's edge, safety becomes paramount. Beach strollers may find their path denied as authorities take precautions against potential dangers lurking beneath the surface. This temporary inconvenience serves as a reminder that even grand endeavors must yield to Mother Nature's whims. The image also sheds light on another setback faced by this ambitious project - work delays caused by complaints of sewerage leaking into the site. These challenges highlight not only logistical hurdles but also public concerns surrounding environmental impact. Photographer Greg Wood skillfully captures this momentous scene, showcasing both man-made structures and natural forces at odds with each other. It serves as a poignant symbol of our constant struggle for progress amidst an ever-changing world. This photograph from Agence France-Presse (AFP) invites us to reflect on our relationship with nature and consider how we can harmonize our ambitions with environmental preservation during large-scale projects such as these Olympic games – where competition meets conservation on Australia's iconic shores.
