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.

Talk about a bird's-eye view! This incredible photo captures the ultimate neighborhood hangout - a massive communal nest of Sociable Weavers at a telephone pole. These sociable little architects have created an avian masterpiece, weaving together twigs and grass to construct their cozy homes. It's like a bustling metropolis in the middle of the Kalahari desert! The Sociable Weavers have built this impressive community, complete with multiple levels and entrances, providing shelter for countless families. Who needs skyscrapers when you can have towering nests? These birds are true social butterflies (or should we say "weavers"?), as they live in large colonies and work together to maintain their intricate abode. It's like living in a never-ending block party! Imagine all the chit-chat that goes on here - it must be quite the lively scene! From morning chirps to evening melodies, this is one happening spot for these feathered friends. The South African sun shines down on this remarkable display of wildlife architecture, reminding us of nature's boundless creativity. So next time you're feeling overwhelmed by city life, just take a look at this print and remember that even birds know how to build one heck of a home!
